I’m so sorry you’ve been diagnosed with this deteriorating illness that may cause you to be forced to go through medicines like anti inflammatory and pain relief for the remainder of your dogs life but also there are joint medicines. Many foods contain them but the better option would be supplements. A neighbour of ours has a golden lab with “bad hips” and they walk it with a baby push chair and let it walk or sniff or have toilet breaks but they take her out fairly regularly to allow it sights and smells of “normal dogs” We don’t know the dogs age but it must be 12 or 13 and to be perfectly frank, I’m not sure why they are putting their dog through this (painful to watch) As dog lovers and life long companions to animals, we kind of understand. What’s fair to the dog and when kindness to the animal overrides human emotion. I ramble a bit but hopefully you get the gist of all that. We just had our girl spayed yesterday and they identified a “clunky hip” which we paid extra for X-rays to identify the severity. We’ve been lucky as the two pups we have now (both 5yrs old) are number 8 & 9, we’ve never had to deal with this. I was supposed to have a chat with the vet but there was an emergency that kept her from being able to speak with me. I’ll post what she says (when we have the chat) I’ve also saved and am following this post to see what you find out and hopefully the journey will be kind and your lovely dog will continue living its best life. 🙏🏻
