Has Anyone Had This Problem

[marina]

I have a 8mth old female border collie. She has what I would call fluid sacks on both her elbows. She is not lame in any way and still moves well. She shows no discomfort. It has baffled the vet as they thought it could be from lying on a hard surface but she sleeps on a mattress which is soft. and that usually comes with age. I have her on antibiotics and anti inflamatories and it is not making any difference.They would like to do xrays But if it were of the bone or joint I think she would be lame or at least sore in that area. They also said they did not know whether she should rest or exercise the area. Has anyone seen or heard of this before :rolleyes:

Yes, as you say in big heavy dogs lying on hard surfaces.

I have seen the equivalent of elbow pads put on dogs in an attempt to reduce inflammation. Perhaps you could make your own. It is very difficult to get dogs to sleep where you want them to rather than where they want to!!!!!!!

Other than that and grasping at straws, maybe an allergic reaction to an environmental thing???
