Other known illnesses Heidi was to be my obedience girl. She was my soul mate. When she was two I had her x-rayed for OFA. I was told if she was for breeding I shooed get rid of her. She had moderate elbow & moderate hip dysplasia at age two. The orthopedic vet told me to keep trialing her until she said to stop. We were showing in Canada for our third utility leg when she said no more. Heidi was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy in 1999. At age two whenever she was tired she would knuckle under the rear paws. In 2001 she developed the perianal fistulas. That was a nightmare. Since she was completely paralized in the rear the PF's would not heal. Heidi was in an Eddie's cart for a little over a year. She absolutely loved her cart.
