1 yr old Std w/ tndnitis & OCD

Hi We had a mini for 14 yrs and now have gone for the medium size. Remy is the cutest and is so affectionate. He developed a limp in his front foreleg in Nov that would come & go, but by Feb it was much worse. He has been hosebound for the month of May and was put on prednisone. He hasn'timproved, so the vet is going to investigate other things. Plus in April he developed a "hot spot" from licking on his tummy after being groomed. He is on an anti-depressant called Elavil and has been wearing those "lampshade collars" all month too. We got him from a reputable breeder so I will call her too, but just wondered if any of you have experienced either of these problems with your dogs. I really think Remy would like a job and I am hoping he will get his CGC and become a pet therapy dog. Thanks.
