Thanks, I am definitely leaning that way more every time I see him struggle to walk
I don't wan't him to get horrible arthritis in a few years either. Just need all the reassurance he won't have problems with anesthesia. He has survived it before but I had two patients tell me their dogs did not wake up after going in for teeth cleanings.
