lizbud...All of us at my house are hoping for Buddy's return to full health and vigor very soon. My Cody was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia...She was not at all overweight at the time. But the vet wanted her down 10lbs to minimize stress of the joint. As Sue says, the surgery described is now fairly routine having a very high success rate! Please give Buddy and big hug for us.
Sandra, Star and Cody
