Oh, poor sweet Angus, I am familiar with the pain that your poor boy is going through because my first GSD had hip dysplasia (with surgery to correct) but in the end, arthritis set in. The same with my Great Pyr in that arthritis set in where her ACL surgery was done.

The vet said that Killian's front elbow has arthritis, too. She didn't say anything more about it (because of his more pressing issues), but I fear that there are no meds that he can safely take for it because of his liver. When it acts up, I don't know what our options are. We will cross that bridge when we come to it though.

Well, today Killi ate his homecooked liver diet!! ( I had to add a little bit of hot dog to get him started though). He is still not acting his old self. He is better, not still not well. I think we may have to have the mouth done again even though it is too soon. My poor baby!

Thanks, all.
