Hi, I need some help please. My dog cookie is going to be 15 this month. He has arthritis. On February 28th he woke up perfectly happy. Took him for his walk, walked very good also. I went in he slipped cause outside was snowing and since then he can’t walk. The same day I took him to the vet. He can’t seem to work his front left leg and his left hind leg. The vet told me it might that he hurt his neck. She gave muscle relaxer, gapabentin and rimadyl. She told me that he should get up by 2 days. Yesterday I took him also for acupuncture and laser therapy. He still have deep pain feeling in his both legs that are injured. He still eats and alert and tries to
Get up. The same night of the acupuncture he was more steady on his legs. Today I took him for a follow up to his regular vet and she is telling me she is very concerned cause she didn’t see any improvement and she thinks it’s a tumor now. I can’t afford an mri. What do you think? Putting him down is not even an option. I am doing acupuncture, laser therapy, meds and Chinese medicine, on the 14th I have a consultation with a rehab place. Any thoughts please. I can’t stop crying. He is my baby. I had him since he was 4 weeks.
I want also to add that his front leg and back leg knuckles but now he is correcting them by himself. And not as much as before. And the vet is telling me that his back leg is knucklingmore now and not correcting it. He doesn’t like to go to the vet and he shakes there. And also when she checked him we weren’t with him. I am doing also adequan
