My 4 year old dog Bailey recently developed a swollen hock and was favouring
that foot. Since compensating for the leg, he has developed an opposite
swelling of his front wrist. Bailey has been for almost a week very
lethargic, and the swelling has increased in the hock and now the wrist even
though he is getting 3 Bufferin (as per vet because he's 90 pounds) every 12
hours. He has since lost his appetite, drinking lots of water and stays
pretty much in the same place for hours at a time. We have hardwood floors
and he is going to get a crib mattress tonight to sleep on.

He has no loss of bowel control, gums and eyes are good and pees when has
too, just spends a lot of time laying down. I also noted he has rumbling in
his lungs. The vet doesn't think he has cancer as tumours are usually very
sensitive.I was giving him Glucosamine sulphate but I stepped it back as the
bottle says it should be taken with food.

Does anyone out there have any ideas or similar experiences??

Thanks

Rick
