So it seems like a good idea to get that care credit card application in. Review your health guarantee your breeder gave you - both conditions are usually considered genetic, especially given your pup is only 6mths old.

I wish you all the best with your pup.

Oh, I just thought they would do the x-ray of the whole body, he's just so small so I figured.

Also, I haven't addressed this yet but I didn't get my pup from a breeder. He came from an Amish market here in Ohio. They don't breed them, they said, just sell them. Don't know where he came from. For all I know, he was from a puppy mill before they put him out but I figured I was rescuing him from that place.
