Orthopedic History Form

“Cider has recovered so well from his procedure for medial shoulder syndrome (MSS). I can tell a huge difference! He is so grateful to be back to his very energetic, keep mommy on her toes self!”

My 6-year-old AKC FCI World Agility Team Border Collie and Silver Medalist, Leverage “Levy,” had a very complicated and extensive carpus and possible shoulder injury which required very special treatment. For several weeks I was haunted with despair and merely hoped she could just run pain- and limp-free again. Little did I know, Dr. Canapp and his team would bring my remarkable girl back to doing what she loves — agility, herding, frisbee and swimming.

“About three months after Tango placed 4th in the USDAA Cynosport Steeplechase, he developed an intermittent, slight limp in his front leg. We went to veterinarians and a specialist, but no one could tell me exactly what was wrong, even after an MRI, physical therapy, laser therapy, Adequan and Metacam. On a former client’s suggestion, we flew from Seattle to see Dr. Canapp. I got an answer right away—Tango was diagnosed with bilateral medial shoulder syndrome.”
