Kelly J, I will PM you the HTML link, thank you very much. Any help is better than nothing for my boo bah!!!
Thank you shepherdmom for the insight. I truly hope that his appointment tomorrow is a very good outcome for Brix.
Caldax, I am truly sorry to hear what you and your puppy are going through, that is just horrible :-( I will send good thoughts and prayers your way for a quick and fast recovery!!!
Ambiigsd, the ortho specialist was not confident with himself on doing such a complex surgery. I will not amputate unless there is NO other option. I will find out more tomorrow at his appointment. If the leg is fixable, why amputate? just to save more money? Sorry, but my fur coated kids mean more to me than saving a buck here and there. I will do what is best for him, and will find out tomorrow.

Just to update on what shepherdmom said. It is very true as a breeder you can not rely on a litter of pups to pay for anything, b/c such things as c-sections, God forbid dead pups, a singleton pup, the list goes on. Brix is out of my first litter in 2 1/2 years, so if you can't tell I do not have litter's popping up all over the place, and I never breed my girls back to back either. As it was pointed out, he needs this surgery done immediately which in other words can not wait.
Thank you to all that have either helped out by contributing to my Boo Bahs surgery, and/or just by passing the word out about my Boo Bah being in need!!! I appreciate it all, and Thank You for caring.

The Rotts carry a lot more weight than the GSD's and to watch him was amzing. I loved this dog and prior to this he was built like a mac truck. It was an honor to have know this dog.
Sometimes we let our emotions get in the way of what is best for the dog. .

I’ve had a look at the x-rays and I don’t see a fracture but I see a bowing on both legs…both shanks aren’t straight on X-ray so I‘m not convinced of a fracture as a primary.
Now to my eye, there is something not quite right in the front with Layla too…….is Brix related to Layla?
I trust you will see why I ask if this could be heredity problem or perhaps something else going on. I’m not saying that there isn’t a healed fracture, I’m asking is it primary or secondary…
Picture of Layla on here so you can see why I ask…

Louise M Penery would be a good member to get an opinion from.

1doggie2, and danbee, if it is a choice of leaving his leg the way it is or amputating, I will obviously make the right decision to amputate. I will know more tomorrow, so I can have a better idea of what is best for my baby boy.
Mark3, I see that you are rather new to this forum. I don't mind someone emailing me to ask questions, or directing the questions to me personally on this forum, but are you asking me personally? or the whole PDB forum in general?
You obviously will not be able to see the small fracture that he had in his growth plate, b/c it has obviously healed wrong which in turn made his bone start to bowe out wrong. Any vet (which I have talked to many who have seen his x-ray's in person) will tell you this (there is no way to see the small fracture in his growth plate any more b/c it is fully healed, and healed up wrong), unless you want to spend a lot of $$$ to do a bone scan. As for Layla, both her legs are normal. If you just only go by the picture that I quickly had to snap in the back of my truck, you can tell that she was ready to take off, which means she is not standing straight. It was always difficult to get pictures of her standing still, b/c she was like the energizer bunny rabbit, seriously. If you go to www.boeselagerkennel.com/layla.html you will see a picture of her in standing form. If you would like for me to email you more picture's of Layla, I would be happy too. The people that know me and have known me for years, know that I am very honest about all my dog's, so in other words if Brix did in fact have a deformed hereditary bone in his leg, I would have said so with out a problem. I have no problem saying so if that was the case, which it is not. I have nothing to hide or lie about, never have, and never will. Now if you would like to email me personally kelly@boeselagerkennels.com I will be happy to send you the full size of Brix's x-ray's, and a ton of picture's of Layla. I tried to get on photobucket, but b/c of my stupid dialup I've been having issues trying to get on there to download the x-ray's, and get to all of Layla's picture's. I have NO problems asking questions, but please if your going to ask me personally, please direct it to me, not the whole forum.
P.S. Both of Brix's legs are NOT bowed out. If that was the case, I would have said so.
QUOTE: I trust you will see why I ask if this could be heredity problem or perhaps something else going on. I’m not saying that there isn’t a healed fracture, I’m asking is it primary or secondary…
Brix's fracture in his growth plate is the Primary reason why his leg started to bowe out. It is not hereditary, and I was told this by many vets that have seen his x-ray's in person. The fracture healed wrong which in turn started to cause his leg to bowe out, and he is in his growth spert right now too. I will try to get picture's of him at MSU. Mark3 if you have any more questions please feel free to ask and direct it to me either on this forum or email, or in person.
Thank You
