The Cumbrian couple says they feel 'tricked.'
The Cumbrian couple says they feel "tricked." Sophie and Paul McDonnell purchased black labrador Maya six months ago.
The poor pet isn't able to climb the stairs or squat to go to the loo and is taking six painkillers a day. Customer relations worker Sophie said: "It's heartbreaking. She's such a loving and fun dog. It's horrible to see her in so much pain. "That leads to arthritis, and her quality of life could become so poor we'd have to have her put down. The vets said it's one of the worst cases of hip dysplasia they've ever seen."
And she also weighed only four kilos at nine weeks old - when she would be expected to come in at around nine kilos. Sophie says she thought Maya's strutting walk was comical at first. But the dog, now nine months old, began limping and whining all the time in October and can now only manage a ten-minute walk. Vets at two hospitals then diagnosed severe hip dysplasia in December.
