Hi Blakloks. I was just reading your post there and the thing is last year a friend of mine had the same problem he notice his young springer bitch with a limp at first witch he though may have just been a knock she got out with him.He done what any right minded person would have done and layed the bitch up. But as time went bay she only got worse.He took her to the vet here close to us and was told it was a comon thing in spaniels and that it was a facturce (the bone its self ) in the upper part of the leg (shoulder ect)and told him it would cost £800 for an op to fix it. [witch he did after a second opin]
