  1. thanks so much for the story; a real insight - thats exacly what the vet described the specialist would recommened. it looks like a long challanging time ahead.
  2. i feed them dry food mainly; PURINA ONE Growth & Development Formula for puppies; with a bit of kangeroo jerky as a treat every now & then
  3. yeh not good, so now i have to wait on the specialists opinion; heres a pic from today - she went in early because she discovered the Bee's...poor thing her face was all swollen; but u might be able to see from the RH front leg its bent
  4. not that we could spot, she only started limping a couple of weeks back; although looking back at pictures you can notice the "slightest" curve out - the first vet thought "growing pains" then the x ray comfirmed the plates have deformed im about to head off and talk to the vet, i hope he can recommend a decent surgen / specialist
  5. hi all, im a bit new here so i didnt know how to start but im just a bit upset; ive just found out that my gorgeous 6month old siberian husky has a deformed front leg; mainly in the wrist causing it to "turn out" as the vet states the complications of this is long and painful, along the lines of arthritis, lame etc. i was hoping to be able to continue training her & her sister to race / mush but it now seems that dream is gone. i just feel so sorry for her. what im wondering is if this is a common issue for dog of this breed / age etc? her sister is fine although a stocker build. as these are my first dogs outside a family pet (last one died of cancer tumors so i got very upset about this issue) im also concerened about cost; could anybody recommend a specialist?; im in the hunter valley - nsw. money isnt an issue as i want whats best for her, but im certainly not rich; my partner and i just bought our first house (were in our 20's) & were getting married in just under a month - so things are just crazy atm. please PM with any tips or contacts; thanks - Aimee
  6. hi all, im so glad i found this site; i currently have 2 x 6month old sibes, sisters yet complete oppisites. they are my first dogs; beside the odd family pet and i bought them from a breeder in Inverall. gorgeous, well behaved girls but i was dismayed to find out today that one of them has a deformed RH front leg; seems one side of the "plates" in the wrist stopped growing were as the other continued; causing her leg to twist out and for her to become lame..... im absolutly devestated for my sibe, as i was hoping to train them up to race / mush and now have to pay $$$ thousands for an operation they may not fully resolve it. im just wondering if this is a common issue with sibes? or just an unlucky genetic hiccup
