Sounds like Mimi is doing better! So glad to hear that ... hopefully the surgery won't be necessary. We will continue to keep her in our prayers!

Your hubby sounds like mine! Patrick was online one day and called me to look at the LL Bean bed he had ordered for Toto. I pointed out that with that one, she had seven beds! His reply?? "So??"

Nothing's too good for these Daddy's Girls!!

Sissy was diagnosed with this in her right back leg at 11 months. She was "skipping" when she would trot through the back yard and that is the only time she does this.

The vet said it is very mild, not even a grade 1 and just to watch it. I started using Missing Link with Glucosamine. It might be my imagination, but she doesn't seem to be skipping as much since starting the ML. My vet also told us it could get worse, but we would watch it and it might never need surgery.

I ordered Hip Chips and can't wait to get them. I use to feed mine the regular missing link but I noticed Timmy was throwing up bile a whole lot while on it. Since I stopped it he has not thrown up. Has anyone else experienced this with ML?

Not that she wasn't before but her daddy is taking this out of control...lol I do everything for my babies but daddy does get up at night and take them potty if they need to go. This has always been his duty since we got them...lol well anyway he tells me last night that he doesn't let her walk to the pad...he carries her. I looked at him like OMG...lol he's too funny but then again thats his girl.

Romeo's Mom - thanks for the site...I'm going to get her some chips.

There is a great ortho vet in Malvern, PA. Its not that far from me and Im in Pine Hill. Im going to say it takes about an hour to get there.
