    Boxer Puppy - Juvenile Arthritis?

    Thankyou everyone for your concern. When I spoke with the vet she said that we will have to wait and see. If it goes away then we don't do anything further. However she said that if it persists then other tests may be necessary and if we wanted she could send us to a specialist. Ruski is...
