I have a 6 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever. One morning we woke up to find her limping really badly! We took her to the vet, and they said it appeared to be arthritis. Wellll, we put her on 2 kinds of medicine, and it seems to be getting worse. It's only on one leg,,,she drags it around limping. Well last week, we noticed it was so bad, she couldn't even move. I called the vet, explained the situation-and she said to bring her in for x-rays. So I did, and she again said, it's arthritis. My dog is literally miserable. I, in my heart-do not think it is arthritis,,,but I'm not a vet. All she does is lay around,,,and whines and trembles from the pain. Literally! And when she does get up...it takes forever...and sometimes she can't walk so she uses her front legs to scoot and pull her bottom on the ground. It's breaking my heart to watch this and I need help soon! We have already spent close to $600.00 in the past week. Please, someone help!
