Okay so this little guy (Max) apparently has this. I guess my vet will have to explain it to me. I see an occasional hitch in his gait, and he does lay down like an old men. What do I need to know...and how can I make it easier for him. I am getting a ramp to get on the couch because If I don't he tries to jump. It is a little high so I will take that away as a problem. I guess too there are different levels. Thats all I know so far.
