<DIV>Before you go to the extreme expense and trauma of surgery on Cletus' leg,
I would first of all be sure that your vet understands about Basset
Hounds. Then I would get a second opinion. After that, I would try
giving him double doses of glusomine and chondroitin for at least a week. (Usual
dose is 1500 mg of each per day)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
