[PiePiper]

Piper had surgery for Legg Perthes last December, she was 7 months. One day I notice she was carrying her right hind leg once in a while. After about a week and it seemed she was carrying that leg more and more I brought her to the vets. She had Legg Perthes and you could see from the x-ray how the head of the femur was all eroded and pitted and there were bone chips broken off. A week later she had her surgery. She is 100% now with no limp or pain. I bought Piper from a breeder and when I called her about Piper she was very upset because this never has happened in any of her litters but she had just bought Piper's mom for breeding purposes in order to better better her breeding program and this was the first litter from her. There were 3 puppies in that litter and she notified the other owners and their babies were fine. She had Piper's Mom spayed and sold her as a pet. I was fortunate that the breeder did give me money towards Piper's surgery.
