I have been with my Vet through 2 other dogs since the 80’s. I think she wants the best for Max and was really pushing me last week to put him down, but I still see life in his eyes. I just want EVERY chance I can give him. I know he has bad arthritis and we are trying to manage the pain its the inflammation that I am trying to help right now. He has it bad in his right carpus REALLY BAD and has dealt with hip dysplasia since he was a puppy I’ve had him since 2005. He is getting acupuncture sometime the electo that works REALLY well, But the physical therapist keeps putting him on the underwater treadmill THAT is what I feel is causing a lot of issues for him..its once a week, last time it was for 10 minutes, I could see in his eyes he was not happy…I feel it’s like a person that sits at a desk 5 days a week and decides on Saturday to run a marathon, well it’s not going to happen. I am not giving up on Max but since my vet is the one that either has to write a script for to order myself or send me home with what they have in their office I am not sure Max will get the chance. I guess I could find a vet that works under the table or just hound my vet till she cracks
