Toby was diagnosed with Legge Perths today. His hip is in very bad shape. The vet is giving him pain meds for a week to see if it will start to heal it self. He say its very unlikely, but can happen.

Otherwise we are going to have to go down the surgery route, probably in the next few weeks.

I was due to get Maisie in two weeks time.

I am a bit worried it will be too much dealing with post op Toby and new puppy.

What do you think?

Is it best to wait for a few months, and get a different pup?
