Hi Dale,
First of all if you have a question that does not relate to any other threads currently on the forum could please start a new subject.
In regard to Enhance injection for ligament damage it is of very little value and in my honest opinion a waste of money for that particular injury.
Enhance as far as I know is an injection of Hyaluronic Acid dissolved in oil and has had some success in a few greyhounds where there was joint bone damage. This injection temporarily lubricates the joint as the Hyaluronic Acid causes some of the oil to adhere to the bone surface and smooth out rough areas.
Mate if there is ligament damage find out exactly what and where, and then try to strengthen that area. If it is not repairable then regular injections of Pentosan while expensive will do a better job.
Have another talk to your Vet about the various options and the costs involved.
Cheers,
Tom
