Hi Tina! Oh, poor little Bosco. I don't know if you looked back at my old blog posts, if you go back to August/Sept 2010 you can read all about Sidney and his HD, surgery and recovery. The wonderful news is that now, SIdney walks without trace of a limp and we have resumed our hiking! Sidney is my walking buddy and I was so sad thinking he would not be able to join me anymore, but he's good as new! The only thing that's different is that Sidney gets nervous if a big dog sniffs around his hind end, and he'll snark at the dog to warn it to back off. He's fine with dogs his size or smaller. The vet said he'd have lifelong arthritis, so if his joints are sore I can't blame him...but he doesn't show it. He gets glucosamine chews (Dasuquin) three times a week to help with the arthritis. PLease let me know how things go with the xrays! Our vet thought it was a muscle strain until the xrays told a different story.
