Good morning, Julie. I know you are concerned, and I remember that feeling very well. The best part is that you will know what you're dealing with and can do the proper treatment for Lara. If it is a mild case, like my Lilly's, she will function just fine, just not with the exuberance of a dog that doesn't have it. And to tell you the truth, I am not sure that it necessarily comes directly from the parents because I know of several people whose dogs have been affected, who had hip clearances on both of the parents. You just never know.

Best of luck on Tuesday, and keep in touch. Hugs to Lara.
