My dog has Pano. Can he get massaged?
Pano (aka Panosteitis) involves inflammation of the long bones in the leg. It is also called “growing pains” and is seen in young dogs between the ages of 6 and 18 months. Massage cannot directly help with this disease. Indirectly it can soothe compensation muscle tension and relax the dog. Pressure on the effected bone is very painful, the rest of the body can be massaged normally. Consult your veterinarian before a massage treatment.
