Susie, that is like my sweety, her right rear leg is a little askew. She never complains about it and I was going to have surgery done but the vet said that she could live just fine her whole life without the surgery. I was sort of glad to hear that because the surgery is so expensive. She is almost 6 now and is fine. She does play and stuff but I just don't let her overexert herself or jump.

I've tried to keep his weight down to avoid stress on his leg and we don't take real long walks. So far so good..he's going on 12 yrs old. When he walks he's out of alignment (that's what we call it) his back rear left leg is askew.
