<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Re the cruciate - there is a person on this
list who is so up on cruciates but</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I forgot his name.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Becky was diagnosed with a cruciate age 8 by vet
and she sent us to an orthopaedic</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>vet specialist and he said Bassets are built like
and have same problems as midgets do (</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>bless them) and she did not have a cruciate but it
was from the back near her tail which would</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>eventually meld. This vet was honest about
operating and they're rare</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Because of their build they seldom have
cruciates he said but back problems and some looseness of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hips which really isn't a problem. I put
magnats on Becky and a slimming belt which I use too cuz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it holds things together and seems to
work</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I hope the person who informed me on cruciates
gets in touch with you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She's now 14 and l/2 and still moving. She's
on pred/age and tummy pills and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the boswella sandy sent.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Drool to all who have lost their pet.</FONT></DIV>
