Thread: Not hunting dogs, these are my children.

I throw myself at the mercy of the crazy dog people for advice.

I/ we have a great dane/ black lab cross and a border collie/ black lab cross.

The great dane cross is 12 nearly 13
The border collie is 14 nearly 15.

Both dogs have serious back wheel problems.

The border collie cross still has energy when taken for a walk but can see it hurts him to move.

The great dane appears fine but looses all control of his back wheels with any exercise.

Both will stumble and trip repeatedly on a walk round the block which is about 600m.

the wife took them to the vet a few days ago and got given some special food and meds.

This is the food at 170 dollars plus the meds at a hundred odd.



I understand any dietary change will take a while to take effect and they do seem to be improving slightly but not much .


Where to from here?

I am preparing myself for the worst.

Have at me dog geeks.
