Oh Thor, I'm sorry to hear about your LP, but it's not the end of the world. Uni had been diagnosed with grade 3, then rediagnosed with grade 2 after one year on Cosequin. She has only lifted her leg once. Does Thor lift his leg much on walks? I still let Uni run and jump as she pleases, it's when she jumps off things I get more nervous.

I have heard that in extreme cases, the hind legs become so bow legged, that the front legs become compromised as well and can develop arthritis.
