Update on Denny
We had to take Denny back to the vets today as his limping was getting worse - today they did Xrays which found he has severe osteo/degenerative arthritis in both his front elbow joints - the right one is the worst of all. They have increased his medication and added a second one and we will be taking both Denny and Reilly to see an Orthopedic Vet in 2 weeks time. Mom is very sad as Denny will be 5 in a couple of weeks and shouldn't have to be dealing with this already.

That is so sad for him. Have you tried Rejenease? Katie had a limp from her arthritic joint for several years but after starting on Rejenease at the double dose for the first month, it went away after just two weeks. It still helps her immensely and the limp has not returned. She's been taking it for about 15 months, no side effects like the nasty drugs that ruin vital organs. Just a thought.

Denny, the acupuncture made me not limp any more with the hip dysplasia. I can't explain it, I just know it worked. It doesn't hurt a bit and I love going there. Maybe you have a doggie acupuncturinst near you that your Mom could try for you. POPT for you, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteDenny, we know your mom and Reilly will help u get better. Big hugs to u.
ReplyDeleteWe will keep our paws crossed for Denny. We hope the medication can help relieve his pain.
ReplyDeleteCrikey Denny ...that's no good, mate!! I sure hope the Vet bloke can help. Mum sends her love to all of you.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry to hear this Denny. We hope the dogtors can help you feel better. Our vet is supposed be getting a new vet that does acupuncture and we are hoping it might help Bailey's hip dysplasia - we have heard good things

ReplyDeleteI'm so sad with you... poor Denny :o( I hope so much that the special vets find a way to help your beloved furkid...
ReplyDeleteOh dear Denny. We hope they find a way for it not to hurt! Hugs to you little buddy!
ReplyDeleteOh, poor Denny. I can't believe he has that so bad in both elbows so early in life. I sure hope the new medication helps him. Give your Ma some cuddles for me.
ReplyDeletePoor Denny that is just too young to be having all these problems! We hope he gets better so he can go on walkies soon, even if he doesn't really like them. Love Dolly

ReplyDeleteOoooh sorry am late to this (been travelling about again).... Deary me Denny, the "ol' arther" can be a bit of b***** can't it? I know that mum will ensure you get all the care you can though, so POTP from me to you and also to Reilly. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Poor Denny! Far too young. Could it be a genetic predisposition? Are Denny and Reilly related by blood?
ReplyDeleteI hope he can get some good treatment. I wonder if you have heard of Noel Fitzpatrick over there? He is doing amazing things for dog orphopaedics. He has a tv show called the supervet.
Dear Denny,
ReplyDeleteOh no! We are sorry to hear about this! But we are also very glad that you live with people who will take care of you and help you with this! Our paws are crossed that the Vet can help you feel better! (And that is a very cute photo of you!)
