Guest Anonymous Posted February 20, 2004 Posted February 20, 2004 Well, the vet's office called this morining and asked how Bentley was doing. I told them that he still seemed to be walking quite stiffly. So we've got an appointment to have x-rays done on Tuesday. I have to take him in and leave him because they have to put him out in order to get all the x-rays they want. Hopefully he'll be able to come home that day. I hate leaving him there. But I'm glad we at least know what the next step is. So fingers crossed that it's not something too bad. Quote
imported_Cassie Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Poor Bentley, he seems to be going through a rough time lately.... :( Keep us updated... :wink: my Rottie was getting stiff in her front legs...I found out it was calified deposits which were causing secondary arthritis to develop. If you do need to give Bentley a long term anti-inflammatory try Yucca root...it works wonders...and it's natural. I didn't even bother picking up any anti-inflammatories from the vet...rimadyl and metacam used over a long period can ruin your dogs liver...and it masks the pain...so, most times the dog will feel so good he will keep doing what harmful activities. Yucca root actually helps the liver and absorbtion of nutrients from food. :wink: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Thanks for the tip Cassie. I'll be sure to keep it in mind if it comes to that. I'm just ready to find out what's going on with him. As my dad told me when I called him... "you want a battle plan". And that's it exactly. I want to know what needs to be done and when, etc. So, hopefully we're on the right track! Quote
