Prayers Needed...

**heinz57_79** · 09-06-2004, 06:15 PM

I haven't been around much, just kinda posting here and there, and haven't started any threads recently, but I have a reason for posting now...

Arthur needs prayers. He has been having problems with either his hips or his knees lately (we think it's his hips) and is going to get checked out by a vet friend of ours next week. He's been having problems standing, walking and lying down. When he does get up, he looks like he's stiff. Doesn't seem to be in pain, just uncomfortable. We're hoping it's something minor that can be fixed easily. If it's hip dysplacia, we'll be in a bind, cuz we don't have the $2000 for hip replacements.

I just want my boy back to his spunky self. So if anyone could spare a moment for a thought for Arthur, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I hope Arthur will be okay! I'll kepp all of you in my thoughts. I hope it's not hip dysplasia, it's very common in Rotties

Prayers for Arthur... get well soon, boy! *scritchies*

Also sending prayers for Arthur. Glucosamine/chondriton works pretty well at alleviating Greta's painful days. She had one hip done as a young pup, though the Dr. wanted to do both at once, we said no. She's almost nine, and hasn't had problems since. Just occasional stiff days. Hope that's all that's wrong with your boy.
