They didn't say and I didn't think to ask but I have only noticed any problems for maybe 3 weeks or so. I don't think it has progressed very far because he didn't seem too concerned about it. He said to have him rest, give him the glucosamine and call them in 2 weeks and let them know how he is doing. So far he hasn't really had a lot of problems. Like I said, he runs around and plays and has a ton of energy. He has only yelped a few times while playing and I only caught him limp once for a split second. Are there any questions that I didn't think of that I should call back and ask? Where would I find a specialist? What would I look under in the phone book?
