My first visit to Dr. Mason
when I was almost a year old

This is the veterinary findings when I had to go in for my first examination due to lameness and pain.

Dr. Mason was very nice and gentle with me, but I was afraid that it was going to hurt more...

Just below here is an invoice from the Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Wright for my first surgery.  My owner gasped when she found out how much everything was going to cost, and it has cost a lot more. (you can see a spreadsheet of estimated costs if you scroll down).

To the right of the invoice is a PDF file with x-rays of my knees before and after surgery.  Just click on the link to view.
