Stifle effusion

Sonopath Forum

– 4 year old MN beagle cross presented with right hind lameness

– no previous history as this is shelter dog and picked up as a stray

– hip and stifle rads unremarkable and no cranial drawer

– a quick pro bono scan of the right knee was perfomed

I think there is effusion in the suprapatellar view? The CCL looks intact?

Could this be an injury? Other?

For now I have recommended a Metacam trial and rest.
