Poor Buddy Boy. My RB Cody had terrible hip dysplasia, but he was such a big galoot, that he never complained. Occassional pain meds and prescription Cosequin helped. His death was not caused by the problem. I think he could have gone on for a while. But I know, it's horrible and sad to see. It breaks your heart. It's devastating. I'm so sorry. I used to break into tears.

Mz Logan is amazingly functioning on horrendous hips (GSD mix). It was discovered when I rescued her. The vet is utterly amazed how well she functions. I give ger prescription Dasaquin, vitamins, fish oil and once in a great while, after a run in the dog park, a Tramodol pain killer.

PS.. Mz Logan LOVE hip massages! She purrs, really! I do it deep, but soft. I'm jealous! I want my hips massaged!

I cringed when she limps and favors her one side. She's exactly like me, so we were bonded the second we met.

I feel your pain. I know, like me, you pray every day that Buddy stays healthy and comfortable.

Sierra...Mz Logan face HATES the camera and is a little brat too! She's proud of her GSD heritage! She sends undying love to her "cousins', as do I. She says "we" are proud and regal and we will get through anything! Life is too good to give up!!!

Mz Logan loves her hips msaaged and will put her hairy butt in your face for a deep, gentle rub!
