54_and_counting Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Anyone got any advice for older dogs with back leg(s) issues Mines is 13 now, and his back right leg isnt the best, ive got a vets appointment coming up but he absolutely hates vets and strangers coming near him so the vets is a nightmare, i know i need to lose him some weight and ive started getting him omega 3 foods like sardines etc, also has joint supplements Is there anything anyone has used and worked a treat for pain relief etc, he's fine most times apart from when he stands up or lies down it takes him a wee bit longer, going up and down the stairs in the house we've restricted him to going downstairs in morning then back up at nighttime with us Ita absolutely gut wrenching to see him like this as he's pretty normal every other way, the other night he was still wanting to play with his tug of war and still wants to be daft when we hoover etc, just the thought that he's on the way out is killing me Any help/advice is appreciated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt though that there's much the vet will be able to do, he's just getting on becoming an old man. I haven't used it but a pal of mine swears by CBD oil for his old dog.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qos91 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Can you not use metacam when their legs start to go like that? My dad's dog got hit by a car and is on metacam for the rest of her days now. You wouldn't know there was anything wrong with her though. I've also used it for my own dog when he had a mysterious limp that wouldn't go away. It worked within days if I remember correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see all these "holistic" things recommended but struggle to put 100% of my trust in them unless we've used them ourselves. The only thing we got that definately worked for us was some oil that we got Skye for her dry skin and the cbd oil for Jake. Second the suggestion for metacam from the vet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I'll speak to vet about metacam since its a prescription one, and I'll try any over the counter ones people have had success with He been much better yesterday and today, doesnt look as shaky on his leg but were restricting his activity etc, hoping in long term his new diet, bit of weight loss and keeping him away from stairs often will give him a new lease of life One good thing is that he's never been shy about taking tablets in his food, big greedy b*****d scoffs anything lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Skye is 13yo today according to her wee dug passport. She got a crunchy beef tendon, which I really hope doesn't give her the sh*ts. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
