I am sorry Mel that is to bad..... Although you have been good to him and he so far seems to still look very happy-you'll know when its time. Take care
update ...I have recently heard from the breeder , and to clear the air , as Nigel's vet is not a specialist and not OFA certified vet . I will after Nigel's first birthday take him to the specialist instead of my vet and have him x rayed again firstly to see how the joint is progressing with the arthritis , secondly to have him neutered and thirdly to have the OFA certification that he does infact have elbow dysplasia . this will run me way more than my regular vet . then if nothing else , i will know and the breeders will know that there was no mistake about it ! and that i have done and continue to do all i can for Nigel It is my intention and and will remain my intention to not publicly slam the breeder , and name them in a public forum which i have never done . i will however not compromise my own integrity and lie , if some one asks me a question flat out they will get the TRUTH from me if that means we have to take the conversation to p.m s then that's what i will do out of respect for the Breeder not for my sake ."Those that have nothing to hide hide nothing" I have nothing to hide . All my posts in relation to Nigel have been about Nigel and my struggle with what to do .
Cheers Mel
