Panosteitis is a self-limiting disease, meaning that it will eventually go away. The disease should be completely resolved by the time the dog reaches 18-24 months of age.
How long can Panosteitis last?
Panosteitis can last from 2 to 5 months. If your dog has signs that last longer than 5 months, you should go to the veterinarian for a re-check.
How bad is Panosteitis?
The symptoms of panosteitis vary widely in severity. Some dogs will be almost imperceptibly affected while others experience moderate pain. In rare instances, the pain may be so severe that the dogs must be humanely euthanized for lack of effective pain control.
