You can still see my three year old female's ribs. Seeing the spine isn't good. Because they are naturally so lean, I was told to stand them up and if you can see a little belly, then they are okay.

According to my vet, whom I trust, and my own experience with two of my boxers, the answer is 'yes, fairly common', and very easy to treat with minor surgery. Be aware, however, that the condition wil
