My oldest pyr does have a shoulder OCD. The vet has
advised nothing other than Glucosamine, Condroitin, MSM, and vitamin
C until the OCD becomes more of a problem. Giz runs, plays, and in
general does all sorts of Pyr things without issue. It seems to flair up
occasionally (once in the last 8 months) but nothing like it did from about
12-18 months old. (He is 2 1/2 now.) I think he was poorly bred (I
got him from someone who had little dogs and a monkey. He was in a very
small cage. They just wanted him out.) Giz does not have all of the
classic pyr features but definitely does have the personality and
attitude. His daddy was probably a retriever. Oh well, gotta love
him.
