Skye has another appointment on Tueaday as well. Best option is libiuirm I think which doesn't impact kidneys and liver. Will see if insurance will cover it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 1 hour ago, 54_and_counting said: How is skye with getting lifted etc? Cause you can get a harness type thing that goes under them and when you walk you can essentially take a lot of the weight off their back legs, might help keep her active a wee bit more and her mind active We tried that with finn in his final few months but he absolutely hated being lifted underneath by anything so refused point blank it lol, ive seen other older dogs with it though At the moment she can still actually walk ok, just struggling on slippy floors or uneven ground. We've been carrying her up and down the stairs in the house. We'll see how we go, she got a new drug to try today that's supposed to increase blood flow to the brain. At the end of the day she's a good age so health issues aren't entirely unexpected. She doesn't seem to be in pain or distress or anything and the vet is quite happy that she's better this week than when he last saw her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Been a bit better the past few days. Now thinking that the hind leg weakness and dementia symptoms were maybe a side effect of the librela. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Funny you say that as I think Shugs right leg is even worse than before. Almost bending like the prosthetic blades runners use. Sadie's come into season so she's in lockdown as knowing her she'd look for a great Dane to shag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing a bit of snooping on social media re librela and hind leg weakness seems to be a symptom to watch for. Hopefully Sadie's season comes and goes without incident. One was enough for Millie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's even more barky. Wasn't sure if it would bother Shug as he only got baws off when he came to us. So far he's been fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
