oh, jeez. does she not have a hip socket at all in one hip? and almost no socket in the other? wow ... how is she doing, aside from x-rays? are you able to do anything to help her? NSAIDs or anything?

[Misskiwi67]

Huh... haven't seen anything like that... its like the acetabulum isn't there.

I see bilateral femoral head osteotomies in this dogs future... will probably do great, look at that muscle!

[MissKitty]

Wow, that is a big old mess
I'm sorry Libby.

[trexgorawrrrrr]

You can't catch a break, can you?

Poor Mexi

[AllisonPibbleLvr]

What made you do the xrays Libby?

[Ilovethepits]

Not your Mexi! Oh Libby I'm so sorry.

Since the weather started getting cold, she's been having trouble getting up after laying down. Nothing bad enough to have made me think it would look like this, but a slight hesitation.

poor Mexi.

[pblove]

wth, that is unbelievable.

[HersheyBear]

oh no! poor mexi mutt my hershey has degenerative joint disease and hip dysplasia but not as bad as that. poor girl.

Sorry, sweet Mexico. Maybe she and Ruby can can commiserate down the road tho Ruby is asymptomatic at this time. Our vet said they can have horrible x-rays and still be asymptomatic AND that she has seen mild x-rays and the dog couldn't move.... Hopefully this can be reasonably managed for a looooong time!
