[quote=tntcl125]HELLO,
MY VET TOLD ME EITHER A 6,000.00 HIPREPLACEMENT R PUT HIM DOWN. HE IS A 10 MONTH OLD LAB.HIS PARENTS WERE HIP CERTIFIED. IVE BEEN READING A MULTITUDE OF INFO ON THE WEB AND FOUND THAT ALOT OF THIS DIOREDER SEEMS TO COME FROM LACK OF VITAMIN C. NONE OF THE SIBLINGS SHO ANY SIGNS. THE DIFFERANCE WITH HIM IS HE GREW TREMONDOUSLY OVER NIGHT IT SEEMS. I HAVE DECIDED TO TRY THE ESTER-C AND I DONT KNOW IF IT IS JUST ME BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE MADE A DIFFERANCE, EVERYDAY. I ASKED MY VET IF IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT HIS BONES HAVE GROWN FASTER THAN HIS JOINTS, HE SAID I WAS IN DENIAL. I THINK I WILL GET ANOTHER OPINION AND GET A NEW VET. HE IS A WONDERFULL DOG AND IS VERY SMART AND OBEDIANT. HE Had no limp JUST LOOKED LIKE HE WOULD WALK FUNNY.HE NEVER CRIED ALWAYS RETRIEVED , RAN PLAYED ETC. I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO PUT HIM DOWN BUT I ALSO DONT WANT HIM TO HURT..
THEREFOR I AM SEEKING A NEW VET FOR ANOTHER OPINION.
