FOX went to the VET

I'm so glad you were able to get him to the vet!!!

I don't understand - the vet said that Fox has arthritis? Or the problem is that he had a bad reaction to the Rimadyl? 

Fox is under VET / PRAYER POWER now just sleeping R/R the next 5 plus days .

Take a minute or two and please type out for us what the vet SAID.  Complete sentences if you possibly can so we can follow what the vet said. 

It's very unsual for a 2 year old dog to have arthritis -- is this maybe hip or elbow dysplasia?? 

 There are other things you can do if the Rimadyl isn't working right -- there are topicals you can use and other herbs, etc. that may be easier -- but we have to know specifically what the problem is ok?

inflametory of the joints why was giving RIMADYL today by the vets . Touch hind leg a certain way wimpers . What other topical herbs etc ... for achy dog bones is there out ?

If you email me (don't PM -- I need to send you an attachment) I will send you an article with things you can try.

Is Fox the dog in the picture inyour profile?  Fox looks a bit white in the muzzle -- are you sure Fox is only 2?

Glad you are taking care of your Fox!  Callie has a lot of fantastic helpful ideas too.  I think Fox looks older than two as well.  Cute little thing!  Take care.

Young dogs can get bone and joint disorders like OCD - osteochondritis desiccans - and such....but again that is usually in dogs under 1 year. True arthritis at two years old is a bit strange. What tests did the vet do? Did he take radiographs (X-rays)?
