hey guys....it appears that my BES has very severe hip dysplasia...he was walking funny and a bit instable on his back legs so we got him in for X rays......im so broken at this news - he is only 8 months old - we got him from a reputable breeder from italy (who charged us loads of $$$$ as well) exactly to avoid the risk that hereditary problems/bad breeding could cause...such as hip dysplasia.....both parents were negative for hip dysplasia so i really dont know what happened here...he is so, so, so beautiful and it brakes my heart to even think that he might be in a lot of pain soon....i would very much appreciate ANY reco on how i should proceed with his growth now, what to do/not do, are there any existing treatments before considering surgery etc.... a very, very sad mum :-(
