Storm is 7 months and was just diagnosed with elbow dysplasia. he has to have surgery this week on both of his elbows at a cost of 5000 bucks. then there is going to be monthly shots that he has to have and constant meds.
His breeder was good, but it is somewhere in the genetics whether it was in the great, great grandparents or parents.
this is just one of the many things that could crop up in the first few months of life. believe me at 7 months you are so attached that you have to try and help.
get insurance for a couple of years at least
