Hip Fracture

Brighton fractured his left hip and will be undergoing a femoral head ostectomy procedure tomorrow morning. The vet suspects an underlying bone/joint disease. We cannot pinpoint any specific incident that would have caused a fractured hip, but since his bones and joints have been so weak his entire life due to this undiagnosed problem, anything could have caused this injury.
