Glad to hear the vet could ease your worries about the growth. I did not understand your last comment though.... Goes to show, one neglectful act and he has problems for life.

I understand he is having hip problems and I can sympathize. My first Golden had hip problems really bad but what neglectful act are you referring to. Did someone do something to Bull that you think brought on the hip problems. From what you described, it sounded like they were there from birth!
