Went to the vet yesterday morning. Everything went very well. Tony is a whopping 6.8lbs now! Mia is 3.8. He said that everything looked great and that his little skip was just his thing, nothing else.

had the x-rays done, they didn't sedate him though. is that rare? I have never had x-rays done on a dog before and didn't know, should they have sedated him?

The x-rays were normal on his knees, but his right hip joint only covers 1/2 of his bone, compared to the 2/3 it is supposed to cover. The vet said that for his size he was super strong!

The hip thing is going to be fine and not bother him, hopefully. He then gave me the ok to start agility training with him (which I am so excited about!).
