Yes, it is a shame. His bowleggedness is a sign of arthritis? Really? I did not know that, he sometimes makes fun of Buster being bowlegged. He has told me from the beginning that he could do the surgery, but he isn't board certified and a board certified orthopedic vet needs to do the surgery. Each time that he examines Buster, he has said that he can wait, although I have told him about Buster carrying his leg. I'm not that far from A&M. I have heard that Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists are excellent. I wasn't aware that A&M would do surgery on LP. I'll call back and ask for a reference for them as well.
