Karen hip dysplasia

[Roberta]

what Oliver displayed was he did not want to stand on that leg, they say they always sit on it as it means the other leg they use to lift themselves. They actually thought he had done his cruciate ligament, and due to him having insurance we were told the best outcome was taking him to a specalist in Melbourne. He was the one that done Amy's surgery, well he examined him and said nothing there so we rested him for a weak. But when he had his dental we asked that they x-rayed his hips, it came back with lovely healthy spine, but mild hip dyspasia and a touch of arthritis on the rim.
I still feel sick with the thought that he could have been operated on for nothing.
Just were told to keep his musclature up and watch for quick turns, and no jumping (like the jumpings not going to happen to a ADD dachshound)
