Strider was diagnosed with pano after a mistaken diagnosis of HOD, at 4 months. If you can imagine, in a twisted sort of way I was releived that it was pano. Although there is no cure, it does resolve itself after the worse of the growth spurts, and although there are changes to the bones, they are not grossly disfiguring like HOD. Analgesics (our vet used Rymadil for a 6 weeks) are greatly helpful, and we have not had a reoccurance and he is now almost 10 months. Although none of us like to see our babies in pain, according to all my research, pano is the mildest of the bone/joint diseases that our BP's can get, and the most treatable. Hugs to you and Bubba, and keep good thoughts.
