My dog is still limping
It's been a week now since 9 year old Squire has been on Metacam and
rest (as much as can be expected from a Lab). I have also continued with the Gloucosamine, twice a day. I bought a ramp for the mini van so no more jumping for him and for Boots the 8 year old Akita in nd out of the van. I have tried to ice down the sore joint but with him that's like spitting in the wind. His attitude is great and his exuberance is as usual fantastic. However, he does have to go outside a couple of times a day and climb down a couple of stairs and then back up a couple. His limp seems as pronounced as ever. Once this week I heard him yelp outside. I have heard that shark cartilige is useful and others say it likely means surgery. I am really stressed out. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks Camaro |
