Bean's hip dysplasia has finally started causing problems. She has a hard time on stairs, so I usually carry her up at night and Jenn uses a harness to support her back end on the way down in the morning. She uses a wheelchair that supports her back end on walks.

Now she's got a couple growths, that the vet has told us aren't worth trying to operate on. As long as they aren't bothering her, we can ignore them. We've had her on special food (we make it from scratch) for maybe a year now, but every now and then she still doesn't handle it well.
