Triss has Aseptic Necrosis of the Femoral Head. I looked it up online and this is about the time it would show up. (at 5 months old) It has something to do with growth and blocked blood flow to the area. A fall or tripping on something can make it apparent to the owners, but she would have started limping soon anyways.

Her surgery is scheduled for 8am on Tuesday.
Wow, poor Triss. Spend lots of time with her this weekend, it'll do you both some good. My prayers and thoughts will be with you on Tues.
