She said it was pretty bad, and by looking at the film I would have to agree. We are either looking at surjery to remove the joint or a full hip replacement. He is only 9 months and I am soooooo sad  . Of course we are going to do whatever is best for him, but the vet said that it was genetic. I am going to call the breeder we got him from, but not quite sure what to say. Any advice? |
Oh man I'm sorry. 9 months ? I would
def call the breeder and lay it out. If the breeder has any ethics they'll stop breeding those dogs ...but don't count on help. It all comes down to 'what kind' of breeder they are.
Good luck.
