The problem is that it has progressed very quickly and the more that it slips in and out, the more damage it's doing in there. If I leave it until it's really bad, his recovery may be impaired and he may not be able to resume the life he loves oh-so-much. I am so sad.



Thank you. I think us mommy's just *know* when something is wrong.

This was the same for Roxy too. She is active in her walking, racing, pacing and do anxiety laps. She isn't a jump (legs are too short) but she started to carry her leg and limp quite often, so that's when we knew it was time. She is a brand new girl with her new set of wheels though

She gets Cosiquin every day now too
