I took my Mylee in today to be spayed, and at the same time they were going to x-ray and examine her back right leg/hip. I was prepared for a diagnosis of LP or LPD but instead got a diagnosis of hip dysplasia. She is only 6 months old.
My breeder already agreed to help, but I am still frustrated as I put a lot of time and thought into my breeder, did everything right by going to visit her, she is AKC, seen the parents, went back a second time, everything you all recommend doing and this little girl is shaping up to be the worst genetically I have ever had.
Sorry, venting here.
Right now she will be on maintenance, but in her future she may need the same type of surgery LPD requires (removal of the ball of her femur-I think). Anyone have words of encouragement/experience with hip dysplasia?
