 Back Legs Are Giving Out
My little Hugo Boss is 15 years and 4 months. He had LP surgery on both legs approximately 10 years ago. About 2 wks ago he started holding up his back right leg. I took him to the vet and they said it's likely due to his arthritis and he may have tweaked it. They put him on gabapentin for the pain. The last few days the left leg is giving him issues. So back to vet b/c both legs are having issues and he could barely walk. They gave him gabapentin and tramedol. He has good and bad moments, feel like it's been more bad than good. He let out 2 yelps yesterday which he never has done when he's had pain. He's such a might dog - 2015 anal gland carcinoma surgery and 20 rounds of radiation, 2017 another cancer surgery on front paw, 2018 anal gland carcinoma came back and he had surgery again. Age is finally catching up to him and I hate it. What do I do if he doesn't get better and can start walking? I feel like I have a difficult decision to make soon. Any advise is appreciated. :/ |
