Animal Smiley 019 Knees

I took Syd to the vet this weekend. I posted before that she had injured her back leg on July 4th. Well a month had elapsed and she was still limping every once and awhile. I just switched vets so this was the first time that Syd had seen the new vet.

The good news is that my new vet is awesome.

The bad news is that Sydney's back knees (both sides) are sliding back and forth and coming dislocated and relocated when she walks. I know that this is a part of the breed and that it is very common.

Do any of you have experience with this that you can share? The vet told me to start her on Glucosamine (sp?) and that she needs to swim for 10 minutes 2 times a week. We had our first swimming lesson on Saturday...in the bathtub.

It just seems so horrable that she has this problem already...she's only 8 months.
