“Think of the story of the Princess and the Pea” said the Veterinarian. Only for Henry, it isn’t a pea he can feel with every step, it’s more like a thorn. Mind you, he doesn’t complain. And he’s as enthusiastic and playful as can be, but this sweet and loving guy has been diagnosed with osteochondrosis (OCD) in both shoulders. Henry is between 18 months and 2 years old, and the best guess is that he’s a delightful mix of Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Border Collie…embodying the best qualities of both breeds. Henry’s never met a human he didn’t love at first sight -- a quality that makes him the perfect family companion dog.

In simple terms, Henry needs surgery on both shoulders to resolve the OCD by removing the “thorns”. With the surgery, Henry will have an entire lifetime to love and play, free of shoulder pain, with an adoptive family. Without the surgery, Henry will have continual low to moderate pain, punctuated with acute painful days when he plays too hard. His pain will continue to increase over time as his condition deteriorates.
