Any doodles that needed surgery to correct growth plate problem??

[Melinda]

hoping someone can help me....was just told that my 5 month old doodle will need surgery to correct a growth plate problem, front legs...at this point he is not in any pain and is as active and crazy as any 5 month old!!!   I am so worried...he is the sweetest little boy.....if anyone has had the same or similar problem with their doodle, or has any info that can help me sort this out I would really appreciate it....thanks

Do have an orthopedic consult before you get too concerned. I had one for Calla, and the specialist said she was fine. It was not for what you are describing, BTW. I thought the consultant was terrific, well trained and nice but he is in Fairfield, NJ.
