The vet is very pleased with Levi's progress. He said "what ever you are doing, keep doing it." Stitches come out next Thursday.

Levi has a check up and laser therapy this morning.

The thing is that none of her siblings the far I know has it, Phoebe is her sister from the same mom and dad, and Phoebe is healthy as a horse, I haved ck her too, ones I find out about Shayna, and she has healthy hips, even her knees, so I guess is like you see sometimes healthy couple having children with difficulties, I guess in some cases not all, is just happens. I'm glad that Levi has a mommy like you, that take care of him.Xoxo Greta ><>

That is good news.

Levi had his stitches out yesterday, he is using his leg about 50% of the time. The vet said that was good. if he continues to improve to come back in two months, if his progress stops to come back in one month.

Today he was even bouncing around on it.

I hope Tico does as well as Levi.

Hi All, It has been awhile, but my Tico is doing great! After the 1st of the year I have to have his left leg done , but if it helps it worth it. My vet did a great job and is very pleased with his out come.

Levi is also doing amazing. Other than the shorter hair on that leg you would never know there was ever anything wrong. So glad I had it done. He now runs and plays and is loving it.
