Dear Laddie Boy is a ten year old Rough Collie , and lately he has been experiencing pain, and wekness in his hind legs , and despite their Vet's advice Laddie Boy is having trouble with walking and jumping.:(
Laddie Boy is such a Great Good Dog Companion, and there is a chance that if his suffering gets worse, that Laddie Boy may have to Be PTS:(
Please send your advice and Prayers for Dear Old Laddie Boy, he is such a Good Dog:love::love::love:

Pawsitive thoughts and prayers for Laddie Boy. Gary, are they giving him any meds to help with what might be arthritis?

[catmandu]

From what they tell me Laddie Boy has arthritis, and their Vet has given them things to help, but sadly there is no cure for arthritis.:(
They are in such a tough spot as all Pet Lover are in with a Companion who os ill, and that is to let them suffer, or lose them.
Laddie Boy is a wonderful Dog, and I am praying that they can help him, and taht he will not be in pain.:love::love::love:

Sort of like my Lacey. She not only had arthritis, but her one knee surgery from years ago had blown out.:( Eventually, she could barely walk and I feared she was in pain even with meds. My thoughts will be with your brother and SIL as they deal with the painful desicion of maybe letting Laddie Boy go.:(

[carole]

Laddie i hope with all my heart your pain can ease and not get any worse, keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you no more suffering and a life full of lots of pleasures that all doggies enjoy.:love::love:

I understand how sad it is to see your "kids" in that situation.

My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Dear Laddie Boy is about 10.5 years to eleven years old , but when he walks , he looks as my Sister In Law wrote a 70 year old Man:(:(
He seems to have hurt one leg , and is putting his weight as much as possible on the others.:(
My Brother and Sister in Law, whose Dog Laddie Boy is may have no choice but to let him become a Dog Angel.
Please pray for a Great Dog , and His Best Friends.:love::love::love:

Laddie Boy is quite handsome!

My Marlin has arthritis in his hip joints. I give him an Adequan shot once a month. Adequan is injectable glucosamine and chondroitin, which helps relieve the inflammation. My vet normally has the dog come in once per month for the shot. That costs $45. A vet tech gives the shot.

I found I can buy a vial on line for $65. The vial holds 12 doses, so this is a HUGE savings. The vet tech showed me how to give the shot. I am already used to giving injections to my Dad, so that was a help.

The dose is based on the dog's weight, so one vial won't have 12 doses for Laddie Boy, he is bigger than my Marlin.

Have them look into Adequan Canine ( it also is made for horses).
