He had always had a bit of a "roach back" but as the aging process accelerated, the arthritis in his back became more pronounced. Our wonderful vet, Dr. Julie DeMarco, prescribed treatments of glucosamine and fish oil dietary supplements along with pain medication to keep him comfortable. Some of Ladd's youth returned and I got to visit with that pup I knew so well from years gone by for about 6 mos. |
Thank you so much for the info. She doesn't have a big hump in her back but you can tell that it isn't straight either. I am going to mention this to her vet the next time i bring her in.
Thank you again
