How to treat a puppy with PANO? I need to know how to treat a puppy with Pano. I want to know how to feed him, what to feed him, and if there are any supplements that would be good for him to take. I only want help from serious people. Thank you!

Lower protein, low calcium food....like a Large Breed Adult. Restrict to low activity. Not cage rest, but not bounding around. It will resolve on it's own, and/or move to another leg.
I have had too many dogs with Pano to count. None have had any major problems, and recovered just fine.
GSD and Goldens were the breeds with the highest occurance. IT really cannot be prevented if they are going to get it. Just thank God it causes no lasting effects!!
You will find conflicting information on the diet. Some Universities have found no diet change needed, others say change it. We feed Newfies the Adult Large Breed from 10 weeks on, other feed their dogs puppy food for the first year. Probably genetics, more than diet has something to do with it.
IT is SOOOO common in GSD. I had 4 over the years, none related, and they ALL had it.

This dog needs to be on a lower protein food now! Do not give this dog calcium at all. You can try using Bufferin for pain. Most of the pain killers from the vet do not work with Pano. I have used Zubrin on my young male , and it did help him. I have also used Nature's Noni with the dogs that have pano. He needs to be crated if you can not get him to stay down. Rest is very important. I will tell you that the Pano is probably going to recur. Don't be surprised if you see him limping on another leg as well. Panosteitis can rotate between the legs.

You don't say what breed, but this is usually found in large breeds. Look at this site and scroll down to pano http://www.ginnie.com/gdlinks4.htm
Food is very important in this disease. The site will tell you what type of diet you need.
Good luck! with proper treatment and diet, I've known several young Danes who have recovered completely.
