These are the x-rays they took of Widget on Monday. He had legg perthes and had surgery on the hip that was the worst and he started having difficulty with his other hip so decided it was time to check his other hip. The vet said he has more problems than his hip. Both his knees are a grade 4 LP and his bones are bowed. Don't know how well these x-rays will post but you can see the arthritis in his hip socket and his knees should be sitting on his femur in the middle instead they are both almost off the femur bone?
The only thing they think can be done is for him to loose weight and offer pain medicine. He is on Dasuquin and they gave me Metacam for the pain. Any suggestions?
