Well, he has elbow dysplasia in both elbows. The severity is about 2 (scale of 0 to 3). I guess in my heart I knew. His brother's hip dysplasia is worse, he's had the one op already and he's only 3. The vet said we're doing all the right stuff already, helping them lose weight, swimming, etc. Digby doesn't need an op now but we are going to put both of them on Pet Flex (they can't take Rimadyl, makes them sick) Expensive but it'll stop the degeneration.

My fiance keeps reminding me that one day he's going to have to make the decision that their pain is too bad. He knows I won't have the guts to say when enough is enough. But hopefully that day is still far off and we can give them the best life possible now. At least I understand why they've been abandoned twice.
