Hi guys,
New to the forum so apologies if this has been asked (Im sure it has).
My 15 Week Old Boerboel Pup Syris had his Pennhip exam earlier this week. His DI score come back at 0.6 and our vet has referred us a specialist to discuss Juvenile Pubic Symphysiodesis (JPS), ive spoken to the Vet about his score and regardless of breed they refer when the score is higher then 0.3.
We got the Pennhip exam done under the recommendation of our Vet due to his breed, we spoke with the breeder about the results which they were suprised with but admitted they dont usually get the exam in their pups done untill after a year.
We only have until Syris is 20 weeks to complete the surgery, so i thought id reach out to some more experienced owners of Boerboels like yourselves to ask if its worth it and has any other owners been in this situation and either gone ahead with surgery or not and what was outcome.
We are torn in the sence that we don't want to put Syris through any unnecessary procedures if we don't need too as there is still no evidence of Degeneration of the Joint only laxity but as hes still very young its possibly to early to show signs of degeneration.
Any help would be appreciated.
Syris is an offspring of Targus Ram (Targus Boerboels).
