My OH had a client like this at the weekend (hopefully not your sister!!) and their point of view was they wanted the dog PTS cos they didn't "want a broken dog & have to spend lots of money on it" Then the breeder has phoned my OH & told him he has got the diagnosis wrong and the dog should never have been PTS'd as the owner was (Breeder's words) "numpties". If the owner was a numpty then why did they sell them the dog????

Pup had xrays yest which confirmed the disease.My sister brought her home last night but this morning she seemed in even more pain even on pain relief and anti biotics and so she had her pts.Its such a shame but at least she isnt suffering any more.

Have googled this condition now .Prognosis is favourable except in the most severe cases. there can be fractures secondary to the disease. Legs may be bowed. Relapses are rare once skeletal maturity is reached. Flo is eating a little so hopefully does not have a temp. My sister will take her to be xrayed tom. She thinks she wont be able to cope with a sickly dog esp if she is physically compromised.I hope it wont be doom and gloom tomorrow. it shouldn't happen to a lovely labby pup
