Thankyou Rune , its anything but good news guys
Vet just called. , Khal has severe HD in both his hips & arthritis in his knee joints
Sorry cryin my eyes out here, the joint in his left hip is non existant, the joint in his right hip is not far from disappearing altogether. He has no muscle mass at all.
They wanted to refer him for hip replacement asap but dont think it would be the right choice as he would still have the arthritis to deal with too. We can have previcox & joint supplements. We can have previcox & Joint diet food or a referral to the specialist. Hes insured for £4000 a year. I have no clue what to do guys. Vet says its so bad it looks like hes had it from birth.
Obviously he can go for hydrotherapy too.
Theyre faxing his xrays thru to specialist as we speak so they can have a 'quick look' to give me advice when i go collect him.I can pick my big fella up at 5:30.
