I have found some interesting info about collagen deficiency which is easily avoided by supplementing with Vit c that will help strengthen ligaments and muscles.
Particularly if a young pup suffers a virus that effects the immune systems during the crucial growth period for example kennel cough... For a number of reason this can sometimes have a direct effect on collagen production in turn creating a potential weakness in ligaments - All this is avoidable with Vit C supplements.
I currently have a bedside table piled high with articles and studies on cruciate ligament disease - I think i have been dreaming about it lol.... I will continue to try and learn all i can, if anyone has any more info on the condition let me know :-)
Thank you
