Bono - Proliferative lesion in the ankle joint area

Meet Bono, a 6.5-year-old golden retriever

PATIENT

Bono

Age: 6,5 years 
Sex: Male
Weight: 36 kg
Diagnosis: Proliferative lesion in the ankle joint area.







HISTORY

In August 2022, the patient sustained an injury from an accident that was not promptly diagnosed. In October of the same year, Bono was first examined by a veterinarian, who diagnosed a lesion in the ankle joint. 

After ongoing treatment and no improvement, the patient was referred to another facility, where a more thorough diagnosis revealed a benign proliferative lesion. Despite attempts with antibiotics and steroids, unfortunately, these did not produce satisfactory results. In February 2023, an ankle orthosis with physiological angle restriction was applied.

THERAPY

The patient is under the continuous care of the attending physician. Currently, the condition of the dog's joint is stable, and the lesion is not growing. The patient is receiving low-dose steroids and uses an ankle orthosis for support during walks.
