Hey everyone, looking for some shared experiences. My dog Ollie (5yo Golden Retriever) has been very stiff and shifting his weight off his right back leg. His recent X-rays revealed chronic calcifying insertional tendinopathy in his left gluteus muscle, mild fluid/effusion in both knees, and some muscle wasting/atrophy in his right leg from compensating.

We are looking into physical rehab and orthopedic options next. If your dog has had a similar diagnosis, how did recovery go? What therapies, supplements, or lifestyle adjustments made the biggest difference for their mobility?

Appreciate any advice or reassurance you can share!
