Nice one Martin, that was an excellent post, I'm very down about it at the moment as he has gone right back to square one, and yes we were very naive about exercise, also feeding him puppy food, according to the specialist.

Update, the last post was on a Tuesday, the following day he couldn't even put weight on the leg, this was most upsetting, we went back to the hospital with him, we were told he was having a growth spurt, he no seems a touch skinnier and taller, I'd say about 27 inch at the shoulder, he has steadily improved since, today you wouldn't know anything was wrong, he even went for a short walk yesterday, and is back up to 25 Laos at the pool.
I think this is going to be how it will go for the next twelve months so I will no update this again, unless something significant happens.
We reinsuranced with More than at only an 80 pence increase, and he is going in for his boosters Monday, we go on holiday for two weeks next week so my mum is having him, he will get royalty spoiled.
So that's it, light at the end of the tunnel at last, I have to say as well, he has been in pain, put in pain, poked prodded , messed about and not once grumbled or complained, he has an absolutely amazing temperament, despite the hassle we have had , I would recommend this breed to anyone.

P.S you will have to live with the spelling mistakes as I have posted this on my phone, and it's bloody hard work editing on it.
