Bevd Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Stanley hasn't really been himself for a couple of weeks. There haven't really been big specific things that have worried us but he's had trouble with his back legs and he's had pain somewhere because he's let out some cries (well, screams....but he is a greyhound). So today he saw the vet. He has very little in the way of reflexes now in his back legs and he has some very tender areas over his spine. He was diagnosed with arthritis of the spine years ago and to be honest, I think he's done very well to do as well as he has, until now. (He was 12 in December). My vet gave him some accupuncture and he's having some medication changes and we will have to see how he goes. If you could send Stanley a good thought to make him stop being wonky and start being a bit more robust in the old leggies department, that would be good I know there isn't a fix for this but I just want him to have a little more quality time.
