So I guess the "first time horse owner bad luck thing" doesn't carry over to dogs as well because Dakoda isn't my first dog. LOL! I wouldn't say we are havin a streak or anythin this is really the first problem I've had with him. I think he may have hip dysplasia. I did some research on it last night and it sounds right. So I took him to the chiropractor today and he adjusted Koda's hips and he seems to be doin a good deal better. I'm gonna get Koda a hip supplement, a ramp for him to get into and out of my truck, stairs for him to get on and off my bed, and an orthopedic bed. I'm hopin that all that will take the stress off of his hips and they won't get aggravated as much. That and I'm gonna see about regular chiropractor visits for him and I have also called the vet to see what information they can find for me and see if maybe I should take him in for x-rays so that I know for sure whether it is actually hip dysplasia or not. I need to get all this done before I leave though. So wish us luck! If anyone is curious here is a little info on hip dysplasia....
