Well, Boone was at the vet to see the joint specialist vet.
The vet says that Boone does indeed have hip dysplasia as is shown in Boone's x-ray below:
The doc says Boone is still growing and puts him at 12-15 mos. old. He says the HD is a 3 out of 5 with 5 being the worst, but says it may get better for a few years as he matures and his joints harden up a bit after he's done growing. But he says he'll be hurting bad there when he gets into his older years. This doc went over options but seem more in favor of seeing how Boone does which was also our opinion.
I'd be curious to hear from some of the docters here (Mardi, are you out there?) or other dog people.
Also, Boone is now 126 lbs.
