Yes I have heard of OCD, and one of my dogs suffers with it. The way we are treating it without surgical intervention is as follows:

New Zealand Green Lipid Mussell. My dog weights 28kgs and therefore has a 500mg a day dosage. This stuff is real expensive, but by god it has helped her big time. Also Chondroitin otherwise known as (Glucosamine) helps. Chondroitin has been proven to build up the synovial fluid around the joint which dogs with OCD lack.

I recently took Lotte off all treatments because she appeared to be going really well, but after a while she starting limping again and crying in pain, so rested her up for a couple of days, gave her a shot of anti-inflammatories (Meloxicam), and then put her back on the New Zealand Green Lipid Mussell and the Glucosamine. Within a few days she was her usual happy self, so I stopped the Meloxicam and just left her on the other bits.

Do give these things a try, because the results have been very good, and more and more veterinarians are starting to use these combinations of treatments.
