Good luck to little Levi.
He did have it sooner, but it was off and on for a long time, then got progessively worse, I took him to the vet two months ago, and he had the x -ray. The vet suggested I wait to see if it gets worse. At that time he was still using his leg about half the time. Now he rarely uses it. Meanwhile I have researched and feel that the surgery should be done.

I think he was around 9 months when he started limping occasionally.
