All was going well till he started been lame in his front left leg so we took him to the vets to see what they had to say so 2 xrays later we found out he had short ulna syndrome/elbow dysplasia so it was decision time there was 4 choices 1, the wankers way out put him to sleep this was not even a choice!! 2, was leave it and end up with him loosing the leg same again this was not going to happen! 3, was chop off the leg same again lol not happening!! 4, operate and try to straighten out the joint this is what I went for only thing was it was going to cost a small fortune!! so any way we went for the first op.

He had a section chopped out of the bone I still have this on the fire place lol and a pin put in this was working but he was growing too fast and it healed up before it had chance to work!

So next he had another op the bone cut open again and 6 pins and a torsion frame put on to stretch it into place we had to adjust it 2mm twice a day for about 2 month!! he was very good all through it we stopped using the head cone after the first op as he did not like it so we made him a cover to stop him weeing all over the open wounds. he had this redone twice as the pins kept bending!

we had a german shep cross rottwieler and sadly lost her earlier this year at 13 years old, she had ops on her back legs as we had the same options but no matter how much it cost we went for the opperation to try fix her up and at the time she was only young. we now have a puppy german called frankie and she is also a great dog. your german looks awsome mate

Had to avoid this thread for a bit as had to have Jake, my parents GSD, put down a few weeks ago as he got cancer and went downhill very quickly. I was in bits and Jess who was 2 years younger than him is still struggling as she tries to find him and she seems like a totally different dog. RIP Jake

Rob H - That is a touching story :)
