Both of my babies have good weight on them. It could be because they are such finicky eaters!
The best of luck to everyone who is having this problem! |
My Daisy who has a grade 4 also runs and jumps and is very active. She has not had surgery on this one leg, yet her kneecap is completely out and you can see it on her xray. They have not done surgery on this other leg and won't until she goes completely lame which hasn't happened in her almost 11 years. She's a bull though! LOL
