Medical Conditions & Diseases / Re: Axle's taken a turn *update*

SO we didn't get any answers. they gave him a pain shot and they said his HD doesn't look bad enough to cause the problems he's having. basically, they're clueless. the newby vet told me about something he had read and said i should look into it more. he read an article by a man and gave me a print off of it and it sounds EXACTLY what axle is going through. it also has a link for those of you interested (can i post it on here?) according to the the newby vet's theory, axle *sounds like* he has subluxation of the of the sacrum ( lower back alignment in human talk). all of his symptoms go along with the new vets theory, now if i can just find someone who specializes in things like that it *might* be able to be fixed relatively cheaply WITHOUT surgery... if that's even what it is? i'm relieved, but not. i know it's not as bad as it seemed but at the same time i wish i would know for certain if this is what is causing 5 years worth of problems. with axle being diagnosed at 6 months with HD, it makes sense since this is something that causes a lot of the same problems but is caused at birth if a puppy has a mother with hips that are too narrow.
