Does anyone else vacuum their dog? I did Louis on Sunday, he lay on his side and then rolled over for his tummy to be done! It just seemed a natural progression from doing the stairs to doing the dog at the bottom of the stairs! :) Rhona and Louis who was 2 years old on Sunday

Hi, I have a 13 month old Bernese that was diagnosed this week with elbow dysplasia at the University of Illinois. They have suggested Rimadyl periodically for flare ups. They are not really recommending surgery at this point because her case is a 4 on a 1-5 scale. She has Joint Incongruity.
