Well yesterday was the worst weather we have had since being up here and the night before my joints were hell, so sleep. Why am I telling you this, Oliver has not been his bubbly self the past few days and last night he missed a jump onto chair, and then I though you have not been jumping on the bed since Wed or looking out the window of the car and he was not happy about walking. So i took him to get checked out.................my fear was the mountain goat, ADD child had a back injury.....................no he has mild arthritis in his back right hip. Albert gave him a good going over and said his back was really good, but he has to lose about a kilo. It's funny I thought the other day his back right leg was not right. I said to Albert, I know this sounds funny to say but he is not right, and it's probably me, he said he actually believes mum's and dad's pick things up about their four legged kids. I asked if he could give me something as I had been awake for most of last night worrying about Oliver.
I had given him medacalm this morning, he said see how he is to-morrow and only give it ot him when required............changed diet to the Hills joint formula but we will keep on the sacha's blend for good measure.

Poor Oliver!!! We hope your hip feels better soon......how about some carrots for a snackie???
I'm not surprised you picked up on that first Roberta you are such an intuitive mom. Poor baby glad it's not his back but hate to hear the arthritis I am sure Hallie has some setting in too. This age thing sneaks up on you way too quickly!
Sorry to hear about MR Arther's visit seems like they would have a cure by now please read the ingredients on the Science Diet think Hill's it is the same food Science diet has allot of fillers in it. I'm 95% sure that vets get a kick back for selling that stuff.
A good remedy to help with Arthritis is Apple Cider Vinegar you have to start out with just a few drops until you are up to at least a teaspoon.On big dogs I get up to a tablespoon how much does Oliver weigh?of course it takes awhile for it to help since it is a Holistic type of medication for Arthritis.Mother's is a good brand it is organic you can read about it on there web site Mother's.com Apple Cider Vinegar. We even had a elderly gentleman come into the hospital when he was asked if he had Arthritis he said no he drank the Vinegar a little ever day.Ppapppbouv
