Hi it's me again looking for help. Our lab is 10 and a half and he's struggling with his back legs. He has neuropathy in one leg and got arthritis in both back legs He's on joint meds and painkillers too.
His leg with neuropathy in can give way easily and he can't always get up off smooth floors without a struggle or us helping him. We try to keep the walks short 15 -30 mins and keep him off pavements as far we can as his paw knuckles and it can rub on the hard surface. Ive noticed that he pants when he's walking sometimes which I think it means he's in pain, and I'm thinking about getting him a pushchair or a trolly type thing like a plastic box on wheels, and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations.
He's a happy boy who everyone loves, and he has quite a character.
He seems happier in his comfort zone - on his bed with us nearby. We are trying to do what we can to help him live out his days happy and comfortable.
