Well, I haven't posted about this on here because I didn't think it was going to be significant. Asher began showing the slightest of limps around August last year on his front left side. Took him to the vet in September. He felt around and Asher showed no signs of discomfort (vet said labs are very good at doing so). Limp went away. I started noticing it again in December. I asked my pet sitter to watch his gait but she said she never notices a limp. I see it though. So finally took him in for X-rays today. My vet says his left elbow looks "rough". He believes it's elbow dysplasia but he is sending the x-rays off to a radiologist.
I checked in with my breeder and she said she has never had a puppy have elbow dysplasia. She did tell me that last year she purchased a puppy for breeding and the puppy ended up having double elbow dysplasia. She had surgery done by a vet from OSU. It was successful and the puppy is happy in a family home. Six week recovery in crate. She said the surgery is very pricey.
I just can't believe it. My vet will call me Monday with an update from the radiologist. Anyone on here have experience with this and maybe offer some advice? My baby is zonked right now from the sedation today.
