yes, I have actually I have spoke to someone there regarding my concerns for Abby, and they said my vet has ran every test that they would have except of course the hip x-rays. Like I said I have spoke to so many people I really don't know where else to turn. That is why I decided to join this forum, so I can get other peoples input.

Judy, if this pup doesn't make it, I hope you can take some comfort in knowing you did everything you could and in fact, went the extra mile for her. Whatever happens you have proven yourself to be a great dog person.
I finally have an answer. She does have severe hip dysplasia. Both hips are affected. They did give me options, but with all of her other health problems we are not sure what to do. Anyone out there with some suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm so sorry, Judy. I know first-hand how bad this is to hear, especially on top of everything else you've gone through.
I've focused on the wobbly hips part of your dog's problems and there are things you can do for the HD, at least. Most everything I learned about helping my puppy's HD I learned here and I'd be happy to share what I do and have done with him. Feel free to PM me

Hi Judy,
I'm so sorry, it looks like the news goes from bad to worse. Have you been able to get a diagnosis on the rest of the health issues? Is the pup still vomiting?
If she was in a lot of pain then the other symptoms make sense. Relieve the pain and she might be fine. You might want to try that(pain relief) to see if it works before you make other decisions. I feel for you. A very hard decision to make. I will say that a freind had a gsd that was sick like yours right from the beginning. It was like eating 'hurt' and thus she wouldn't eat and became more and more miserable. She become very dog aggressive and then finally also more aggressive to people. She ended up putting her down. It was a VERY difficult decision for her.
