I really wish when people speak that they knew were they are talking about. Giving false information is very troubling. As for the spay and neuter question all of mine are spayed and neutered. I am a foster home for YHR and there are far too many irresponsible people that are breeding, mixing breeds, not taking proper care of their pets to EVER bring any more pets into this world in my home. My last foster was about 15 yrs old and he had an anal gland adenoma from never being neutered. It was the saddest thing to see this poor dog having to go to the vet to have his glands expressed with a growth on his anal glands the size of a marble. The vet told me that it was a direct result of hormones and that unaltered males have this as they get older. Finally, there are MILLIONS of dogs PTS in this country every year. They are NOT shipped in from other countries unless you consider the puppy mills across the boarder. The dogs that are PTS are the cast off of IRRESPONSIBLE pet owners. It happens every day and you don't even have to go far to find excellent examples of the types of people that breed. Just go and take a look in the breeder forum and every day there is someone coming along that had an ooops pregnancy. It is just mind boggling!

| I'm a little suspicious of their information. They seem to generalize. I was reading their LP description, specifically grade 3/4 because that's what Kaji has on both knees. He has never, and I mean never lifted his leg, whined and walks/runs fine. He's not bowed legged either. Maybe he's a fluke???

Yea i've done some research on Luxating patellas and apparently when their knee moves outta the socket it locks up and the dog starts to limp. And its supposed to hurt really bad so they wine and limp. I dont know if this is always the case though. Perhaps your dogs luxating patella isnt a 3/4 grade, because if he runs and walks fine, and has never had his leg lock up on him maybe he just has a level one LP... but yea im no vet so i wouldnt know but thats my guess. Because when i got my little man from the breeder she informed me that if i allowed him to jump off of the couch and stuff (because he is so tiny) he may get LP so one day, me and him were on the couch and when i got up he jumped off with me and I freaked because i though "OHHH NO!! now he messed up his knees" but when i took him to the vet he said he was fine... but yea back to the point your dog may have a low level. Also if you give your dog glucosamine treats (like hip action by zukes) you may be able to prevent your dog from getting LP, or prevent it from ever really having an issue with it because I've read that the glucosamine is really good with bone health, and some people give it to thier older dogs to prevent them from developing arthritis... lol but thats my off topic bit Last edited by jazzybee445; 05-17-2010 at 10:01 PM. | |

However, calling me a BYB is pretty slanderous and you really should be careful of what you call people. Especially when you do not know anything about them. But I guess that is something people like you, enjoy doing here. | |
