Oh, I'm sorry to hear this, although expensive the surgery is quite successful. This is rather young to have it so advanced. It may be inherited, and they can also get it from being injured, I hope you tell your breeder about this, most will probably deny it, but perhaps, this one might take another look at her breeding program. So many breeders say, "I've never tested, but I've never had any complaints, and I think most people don't bother telling the breeder." From what I've read the hardest part is keeping them in a kennel, immobilized for a while after surgery, this is an extremely important step. Best of luck with your little guy, there are many people who have had to go through this. Is it just effecting one leg? |
