Someone please help!!! I really need advice I don't want to do the wrong thing. I posted a couple of days ago about my baby Charlie "anybody else dealing with arthritis" and no one even offered their opinion so your not dealing with the situation what would you do if you were me. Please find my old post and read the story it's to much to repost and please let me know what you would do? |
I my self would just watch him and get a second opinion before any surgery is done,i have no experience in this and i hope someone that has will help you. It just scares me when thay mention surgey on these little babies there so little and i know i would feel better with my baby being checked twice before i would put him through any surgey. |

Just posted on the orginal thread :p |
I went back and read you original post and I am so sorry Charlie seems to have arthritis. I have a girlfriend with a springer spaniel who had arthritis in his hip, he was older the doctor gave him Glucosimine and Chrondin (s) and he had relief for a couple of years until he passed of something else. It rebuilds the tissue around the arthritis I believe. People take it also. I was taking it for awhile for mine at times and it really did help. I would try anything first before surgery. If that dosen't work then surgery it should be. I would not want a young puppy on pain meds forever. Good luck to you and Charlie. |
I went back and read it too...I don't remember even seeing the post. :( As I was reading it, my first thought was does he have luxating patella? Second op is something I would definitely do...and fast! 17 months seems very young to have arthritis? |

We had a mixed breed dog who had an arthritic back...our vet told us to give her 1 johnson's baby aspirin every day. The orange chewable ones. It helped her a great deal... |
Just wanted to let everybody know Charlie will be seeing an orthopedic specialist on Tuesday at 10:30 I will post and let you know what the specialist said. |
Good luck! I hope your little, good boy will get some good news from the doctor! Prayers and doggie kisses! |
