After he started limping and I immediately took him to the vet and he said it was arthritis in the dog's hips. He prescribed a couple of meds and supplements and explained what times to give them as well as how many times a day. Also, after reading a blog where I learned about the treatment and prevention for arthritis in dog's hips. I then began to follow this advice, put my Roggie on a diet, began giving pain medication, and did a special workout, which was intended for those who are rehabilitating. Eventually, Roggie was able to beat his arthritis and now he is sleeping in the house. He is six years old. |
I take it that the bottom line of the story is that the dog may be sick because the owner is indifferent to his pet. I don't agree with the conclusion.
