We let her outside while cooking dinner. About 9 pm, and when we did she waswalking on her 2 front legs and holding one back leg up. Her bottom end was so heavy she kept collapsing. We had to lock her knees for her so she could take baby steps to move. We gave her 2 Advils in balogna not knowing that it was posinis to dogs. And 3 more at about 3am when we took her outside where she didn't go to the bathroom. We aren't sure if she can't go or if she doesn't have to. Then we put her in her chair and turned on the air condishoner. She was nervos and short of breath. We rubed and petted her thinking it would be her last night with us. My mom called our vet that comes to us, Dr.Frank. He didn't answer, but called back this morning at 6. He said no more advil and said either to not let her have food and water, or to go ahead and let her. My mom isn't sure which he said. We let her have a little, but she has been sleeping. We hope it doesn't shut down her kidneys. He think it might be a disc
Lily wants advice! No need to answer if you answered one of my other questions!?
Hi
It sounds like hip displacia to me. I had a dog that had about the same thing as you are describing, unfortunately he had to be put down as he was too old to have surgery.
What hip displacia is is when their old bones get brittle and little chips come off and rub around in their hip joints. It usually only happens to the hind quarters. This is quite painful for the animal and if it can't have surgery the most humane thing is to put it down....
Sorry to hear your dilemma and I hope she will be OK...
Reply:dont wait for ur doctor go to the vet if ur really concerned or wait fr him if u arent
Reply:It could be anything from a hip problem to just arthritis. I hope the Advil hasn't harmed her kidneys or liver but your vet can tell you that.
You will just have to wait and see. I know it's a very hard thing to do but we can't really help you any more than this.
I hope all will go well for your dog.
Reply:You'll have to wait for the vet now. That Advil surely wasn't a good idea at all.. Won't help her out no matter what's wrong with her. Good Luck!
