I really appreciate the info - there are 4 vets in this office - I think I'll request a new one. Better safe than sorry!
Yes, my vet also did not xray. he diagnosed Uni by manipulating the patella, and even showed me how to do it, and showed me a little model. When I do her grooming and have her on her back brushing her tummy, I bend her legs and feel around, and everything seems fine. Like I said, she only lifted the one time. She's been doing good on the Cosequin. Did you look into trying some supplements for her?
