It's amazing what you can fight off with the right foods and exercise on a regular basis. Humans and animals. It may take a little more work and planning but that's ok. I'm staying positive. |
I know... as a "Human" my hip was hurting me last year. I have used exercise and diet to help. And it worked, surgery is not the first and best option for us so the same is true for our pups. I just never thought of it that way..thanks!

How old is your baby & has there ever been any sign of knee problems before now ? |
After reading your post I went back and reread. I agree. At the least have him explain better so you have a better understanding.
Good luck
