Any news on what the vet said?
I know my big black lab Luke has bad hips.....he can get down to where he can't get up. The vet said that with a $5000 replacement, he would be "somewhat" better, but not 100%....he currently is taking some pills (can't recall the name, but I know the vet tried several on him).....this helps...but we know that he will eventually have to be put to sleep too!
Please keep us updated!
So sorry you have to watch that sweetie in pain!
