We have a MEGA space-puppy at our house (ie WAY out there from the meds)!

Bad news is it's a form of hip dysplasia.
Good news is that it's not too bad.

We've got her on rimedyl (sp?) for 2-3 weeks (ie a fast pain relief) during which time we'll make the switch to Glucosamine/Chondroitin pills (the healthier long-term choice).

We're also *thinking* that a little "FLUFFY THERAPY" might be just what the doctor ordered.
