I had the dogs back at the vet for a check up and have their weight stats:

6/9/09 Boone 64; Milo 68.
6/23/09 Boone 74; Milo 73.
6/30/09 Boone 78; Milo 73.
8/13/09 Boone 97; Milo n/a
8/19/09 Boone 96; Milo n/a
9/01/09 Boone n/a; Milo 91
12/15/09 Boone 120; Milo 96

According to the vet, Boone has mild hip dysplasia in his back left hip. He favors it whenever he just gets up from laying down until he warms up a bit.

The vet said it was mild and that his bone was not coming out of the joint, but had a slight movement when flexed up and in.

The vet recommended regular Glucosamine (sp?) and fish oils.

I think we are also going to start trying to feed Boone a little bit less. For all we know, they might still be growing.

I know we have some vets out there so any input is appreciated (vet or not!).
