Hi Bianca, quick followup - Cain(my fur baby) andI will be meeting with Karen Hedburg to discuss his case end this week. I have his XRAYS on a PDF view disc - but can't seem to load them here to share :-(

Here he is ... a pic of him at the park today.

I asked my vet tonight for a copy of his XRAYS - will share when I get them on a CD next week.

Hi Bianca, WOW - that is amazing.. Thank you for sharing your story and experience with me. Good to hear your positive outcome and helpfulness of your dogs breeder.

Lol.. Yes indeed.. he is.

Hi! yes we were told the parents were hip and elbow scored and were fine. Maybe they are - I never asked to see proof to that effect... I have now - retrieved his papers, looked up his lineage in the Canine Council registry; I checked the sire - and he came from 0:0 scored stock on the GSD kennel council; however the female bloodline had a 4:2 rating whatever that means.

You are doing very well with your posts. You have a big concern, and are trying to seek best resolution. Might I ask how often and how long these two puppies play together? Is their play supervised? Two active youngsters might be the key to his presenting with issues. The other dog is possibly/probably strong enough to knock your puppy around. Hi! Good point.. they are with each other most of the time (they share the backyard as their respective owners share a house).. they are also inside alot and are presently side by side on the sofa Zzzzz.( yes the humans here help him up/off the sofa)

Hi ! Thanks for your repl and the link for more info. Much appreciated.

Hi! Thanks for the time to give me a detailed reply.. Hopefully my replies are posted properly (new to forums in general).. Actually thanks to all who responded. He is a very active pup and has an english mastiff cross(7mth old pup) as a playmate. Will get a second opinion - the vet @ Richmond -from someone elses post.. will be my next move .. So far my furbaby has cost me a pretty $$ at the vets the last month with xrays, injections and daily pills.

You had him desexed before he was mature, your vet xrayed an immature puppy and declared he's got ed and hd, what a shemozzle all round that one is. Speak to the breeder, which is what you should have done in the first place before you whipped off his nuts and ruined any chance of correct growth and development. Oh come on... That's far from helpful. Actually - it was the breeder that recommended the desexing and the vet concurred.

Thanks 'Trifecta'..Will do.

Hi ! I am new to forums in general..and posting this as I have found myself suddenly knee deep in vet bills. My family and I purchased a pedigree(Kaisterstern) male pup in March( he was born in January), He is a very affectionate pup and boisterous. We did puppy preschool and in the last couple of months noticed a change in his movement. Initially we thought - his rabbit like movement when we first got him was cute puppy behaviour.... At his desexing our vet did xrays and confirmed hip and elbow dysplasia - more so his right elbow and hip. Anyone else who might have purchased from a litter born January17 this year? ( I did try to contact the breeder and email - no response as yet). As he is only a puppy - could it be he is just a goofy pup growing up fast? ( he weighs now 24 kgs; fed on Blackhawke, fresh bones) Thanks for listening! Sim
