Dog health questions

[OneFineAcre]

It's hard on him I'm sure not to be his usual active self, but I've known too many handicapped veterans that couldn't do all the things they used to as well and they live mostly happy full lives. Heck, I can't do lots of the things I used to either and I sure ain't ready for anyone to put me down ... yet.

Amen to that.
I'm glad he's doing better.

Glad to see he is doing better.

Good news all around. Happy for all of you. Hope he continues to the point the chair is no longer needed.

I put the 'wheelchair' up on the wall of the shop yesterday.
Don't need it no more.

He can't run yet and still needs help getting up the steps but it won't be long..

I love when they are able to heal and have that quality of life!
Have seen this several times with dogs that had no breaks but damaged without a known cause.

Made my day Greybeard!

That's great!

That is great news! I know you are very happy with his improvement. This is your friend, your buddy that loves to hang out with you. A good dog is a pleasure. A truly great dog is a joy.

How's his wound healing? Nurse here. I may have a few "off the record" suggestions. So glad he is getting around better!

For future reference, yogurt has good bacteria that help straighten out the gut.

You may also want to put him on a joint supplement that contains glucosamine and chondroitin. There are several brands available over the counter or even from your vet. Your vet may also recommend something for arthritis if he starts acting stiff. These usually require yearly lab work as they can be hard on kidneys/liver.
