[Dailydrool] Another note on back issues

[Pam McQuade]

I also read something online that said that bassets are most likely to get 
back trouble before the age of six. If your hound is older than that, you 
probably don't have to worry. Though my vet did give me some information 
that said older dogs who show such signs may have cancer.

When Abner had his trouble, I commented to one of the vets that he seemed 
young for it. I was told he was right in the age range when it tended to 
happen. He was about six years old, we think, at that time.

Maybe that's another good reason to adopt a senior?
