| I dont think her weight is an issue, she is def not overweight, I think she is a little over 3lbs. I am sure there must be conditions of the front elbows, maybe I should have that checked out as well. |

| The comment wasn't aimed at you, just a generalization.

| Interesting...makes perfect sense though. And MyFairLacey...find me someone who does truly know it all about this or any breed and I'll eat your hat. I don't think anyone could ever truly learn or know it all, although some forget that from time to time. |

| Isn't this pretty commun in toy breeds? Just curios here. My aunt Tina bought a toy Poodle and she discovered the boy has a grade 2 PL. The vet told her that this is not of too much concern and that this is pretty commun in all toy breeds. The vet said that he saw many toy dogs (especially those tiny tiny) with a grade 2 that grow up older and never needed a surgery and/or did not show any real sign. Again, I am not a breeder here but that's my only experience on the subject.

| There can be problems with the elbow joint but that is a lot less common because the elbow joint is just a better joint. The bones just fit together so much better than they do in the stifle (ie. Knee) joint. But there is a condition called elbow displaysia, but you'll normally see that in large, active breeds.

| A few weeks ago we were talking about the stifle joint in Anatomy and the professor started off by telling us it's just a "sucky joint"..LOL..thought that was funny. It's just designed so terribly. The rounded condyles of the femur just dont fit on the flat surface of the tibia so you have to have a ton of ligaments to stabilize the joint. And since it's such a "sucky" joint there are just too many problems that can happen with it.

| Yeppers, that along w/ glaucoma, hip disorders, von Willebrands and disk problems. They rarely need surgery for their LP, but most have 1 or 2. Now, I didn't know bloat was associated with them...that is def something I will start keeping a closer eye on. The enlongated torso, would make them a perfect candidate for it. Now THAT is scary because it hits sooo fast. |
