Amanda, Wow, I've heard about these leg/hip issues so much lately. Is this a genetic deffect? My girlfriends dog started limping Saturday at the dog meet up group we started going to,and she took hi mto the vet and they think it's Legge Perthes.He has xrays tomarrow to be sure. Is this something that the smaller dogs get? And Aiden my 12 pound moose..seems to be o.k. so far. I wish you all the best. Sending Hugs to you and your little one. Keep us posted. Melissa and Aiden
