How can so many of these DJD I dogs live entire lives running, jumping, living what appears to be a comfortable life if they have a serious elbow abnormality? I am confused. Barb +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You should be confused -so am I- One of my dogs at 2 yrs had one elbow mild djd. found out you could reexray in one year and resubmit. at 3 yrs he ofa'd in elbows The love of my life had mild djd in one elbow. at that point I did not know you could resubmit in a year. I just lost him at almost 12 yrs. never limped a day in his life (not even with Pano) never lost his front opening either hence mild djd has no valid meaning to me Sally www.embroiderybysally.org new designs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
