Buster is almost three years old and according to our vet he has been at Grade 4 for about two years now. However, the vet does not recommend surgery until his quality of life is affected. He loves to walk and swim, both of these are supposed to be good for him. He does carry his back leg sometimes, mainly when we are walking but he limps only for a second or two. He is very bow legged but I don't think he walks funny. He takes a supplement every day and I will wait a while longer before I consider surgery for him as he seems to be ok for now.
