whippetmania

I have now visited the vets with my whippet pup and have been advised a low protein adult diet, the plates on the joints have not closed so there is time to right this with diet and not surgery, which is invasive and often unsuccessful. For those that doubt this form of treatment there is a scientific paper published by K Altunatmaz, S Ozsoy at Istanbul University 2006, Carpal Flexural Deformity that points towards diet being the cause of this problem,it would seem after weaning feeding cows milk was the problem, possibly something that happens in Turkey, I guess we use protein rich pup food

<p>I have read this with great interest. I have just collected my long awaited whippet pup from a breeder that I have used before and trusted, only to discover this lovely natured 8 week old boy has this problem. how the hell I didn't notice it when I collected him I shall never know, maybe it was the 4 hour ride to collect and the chaos of the breeder's home (she seemed to have major health problems that I never knew about) but the next day it was all apparent. I have scoured the web for good news, and even convinced my self that I just need to give him decent food like Burns and TLC, b
