Cooper Update
I just thought I would update everyone on Cooper. We went and got a third opinion/second specialist opinion/checkup on him today and he is pretty much a lost cause. Severe hip dysplasia (upgraded from moderate to severe a couple months ago), severe osteoporosis, severe spondylosis and severe arthritis. Yeah, he is just broken. Hip replacement wont work because of the osteoporosis, his bones will just crumble around the metal implants. We pretty much just have him on comfort care measures and he probably wont make it to his next rabies shot. He is only 3 years old.



*sigh*

That was my horrible weekend.

For goondness sake!!! That poor little boy. Supposedly we put someone on the moon back in 1968, but we STILL can't cure bone problems????????????? It just makes me so angry to see animals OR humans suffer with diseases that I'm sure there is a cure, but we aren't going to hear about it. Good ol food & drug. I am so very sorry for the suffering you all are going to be going thru. Your all in my prayers.

Thanks everyone, your thought are appreciated. Eagle, he is on MSM, 1000mg a day for a 64 lb dog, he also takes 1000mg of glucosamine, perna canaliculus, DMG, Vit E, Vit C etc etc (everything in glycoflex III). He has been on it for about 7 months now. At first he showed some improvement, but his decline is faster than the MSM can keep up with.

I'm so sorry Kaz. Hugs to you and Cooper. What a horrible thing to have to go through. Give him masses of love and affection from all of us. :

Cass.
