We brought him to the vet two days ago, and after a couple of xrays, they came to the conclusion that he has arthritis in his knee and ankle. The bone has eroded, and there is nothing in between the bone joints, causing it to be very painful. They gave him two steroid injections to offset the pain for a couple of weeks, but he is still hopping around, unable to use his leg.
They said that we do not have many options, and that we can see an obstetrician, but I am not sure if my family can afford physical therapy. We are also looking into buying more omega 3 pills, which he loves. But what else can we do? It hurts to see your dog suffering.
