Well, we have finally got organised and contacted the vet. Linx has the signs of HD (Hip Dysplasia), although he was scored as a youngster at 6:4 which was pretty good! It does mean that his agility career will be shortlived, but short term it isn't all doom and gloom. We will start treating Linx with Glucosamine and Chrondrotin. The vet stressed to us that at the moment it is imperative to keep Linx lean and muscled. She doesn't think that his agility career should be stopped now- just kept low impact and not too intensive if possible. We know as he gets older the joint will deteriorate but we want to do our best to support him for now and then.
