Thanks everyone!

Luke has been on several meds and the pain pills help alot, but they can't be on them forever (over time, they won't work and then it isn't good for the pet). The vet did say that she had one last pill option and it was the Previlox (sp). She said that it is like another other pill...it may work, it may not. She said she has had some that have taken it and had other side effects, upset stomach, etc. We will try that though after these pills (which doesn't seem to work well........they help for awhile, but they wear off pretty face).

Luke is odd, because he can run and jump and play like there is no tomorrow on one day and then another day he can't really move. We have seen him in the early am through mid afternoon where he couldn't get around well, and then that night, he is bouncing around like a hyper ball of energy!

When we go back to the vet, I will ask about the hip replacement procedures and options and such........she said that sometimes, that doesn't even work or it will but they still have problems, so my DH doesn't know if it would be much help......crazy stuff!!!

Kathryn.......boy, I hope you never have to see Charlie like we have seen Luke! It is heartbreaking!!! Very very heartbreaking!!!!
