In every picture or video I see of your gorgeous hound, he looks really happy and incredibly healthy.

I think he's very lucky to have you as an owner!

Thanks he's not actually that healthy due to hip problems but with him being so young they havent caused a problem yet hopefully they wont but he isnt suitable for breeding but apart from that hes awesome :)

Some pics from the top of mountians should be coming soon :D

Have a look into acupuncture for the pup it might help :)

Will do but doubt it will help as the ball joint is already showing wear.

Awww, sorry to hear that, unfortunately I understand the hip problems all too well..

One of my GSD's came from a rescue centre, he was found wandering. We've had him over a year now but the vet has spotted that he is lame on all four legs! She thinks his left side is worst, left hip and elbow, with the right side not much better.

He's going to be having tests soon to see whether it's the actual bone or cartilage problems or if it could be arthritis...he's only about 4 :(

Fun times ahead, he'll be having an x-ray soon to see what's actually going on.

And yes, he's fully insured thankfully, it could be 4.5K for a hip replacement! That will be on the say so of specialists at Liverpools vet school/hospital so it's a wait and see situation at the moment.

I know how bad this must seem to someone else who obviously loves their dog but I don't think I could put Max through all that, he's fully insured aswell but dont think it would improve his quality of life but I will have to wait and see how things go with him.

Here are Max's xrays from when he was 12months old.

As you can see the ball joint is slightly flat but Max hasn't shown the same sort of problems walking as some dogs with bad hips, so I'm hoping Max will only see hip problems much later in life but it's something I am keeping a close eye on.

/edit:- also you can tell how young the pup is in these by how translucent the photos are.

Awe poor fella, he'll be alright, if he is still full of beans and it's not impairing him in any way just slowing him down a little it'll it should be fine leaving well alone.

I know Max is only young but try him on that pedigree joint care plus for senior dogs. We bought some for the BF's dad's dog and he seemed a lot better in himself, it took a while to kick in but it did the trick.

The acupunture would relieve some of the pain and help promote circulation apparantly it works for arthritic doggies so it might help, won't be the cure but it'll help.

Max is on Glucosamine in the form of Cosequin DS also food suppliments such as rose hip (very high Vit C suppliment with out the same problems as vit C found in fruit).

If it gets worse he will go back onto metacam when he is older but hopefully his diet will help aswell (Raw)

I don't really believe in Accupuncture for people let along dogs but that's my opinion :) I think anyone stcking needles in him might lose some fingers/hand the first time they try it ;)

So like a hukie then

reason huskies get on my nerves, great dogs and all, just i'd rather have a dog i can actually let off the lead without having to have a 10foot perimeter fence everywhere

Not all huskies are like this, I have met some very very well trained huskies but I guess its the luck of the draw :)

I went to the one in 2007, from the cradle to the grave...it was amazing.

I want to goto this years but just cannot afford it....only thing i can afford each year is a festival in August with 'varying' genres, but its still great.

I also want to goto Syndicate, but noooooooooo...money wont allow! :p

Ah right, we goto quite a few things each year, if I didn't change jobs I had chance to goto Defqon (had the tickets), Q Base, Decibel but done the major ones in the UK anyway :D

Never do the UK ones, only did one in Nottingham for a small company...which was amazing seeing one of the guys there...shook his hand :D

I did a few one year...but since then i just cant afford it on my salary, i can only just afford rent and food...so you know =/...sucks to be me

My mates run a hardcore night in Newcastle which I help out with, so met quite a few big names, Ophidian being the biggest, nice lad. Met Unexist, Scott Brown, Lenny D, Sickest Squad, Noisekick, Mutanate and few others :)
