it early days our older dog Sadie been taking the Ymove and the signs look encouraging so far she doing a short walk, and then will sit and you know she wants to go home
Good to hear Sadie is walking. Six weeks ago you said she was running around after taking the vets anti inflammatory drugs. Has anything changed? Here’s to Sadie’ s continuing good heath a and painless mobility
Yes she has good days, and then it back to walking and getting tried very quickly .
Our 15 year old Border Collie also suffers from Arthritic hips and at first we gave him Yumove (and still do) which definitely made a difference. He is now on Metacam and just recently has begun Librela Injections every 4 weeks. They have made a big difference to his mobility.
We did look at stem cell treatment that involved him twice going under an anaesthetic and a risk of side effects. Then he would probably need further treatment after a further 6 - 8 months. Very costly, although some insurance policies do cover this treatment.

At some time folks, we have to give in and accept our companions are in their last days. No matter how many drugs we give them , they have a final life time.
We hated it when we have let our dogs go, but I rather have the heartbreak than see them suffer, they cannot tell us how much pain they are in.

At the Vets yesterday for booster we had concerns with our Border terrier weight loss, lack of bladder control because of her age .cannot settle, difficult walking so she was checked over had a blood test but we are taking it day by day now .
After a number of difficult months with Sadie,, our beloved dog, we had to see vets as an emergency when in 24 hours she deteriorated , She peacefully went to sleep with my wife present. We"re now looking to coping with Sammy who was always by her side.
She"ll be greatly missed a true friend
This a photo of them together on the beach

Beachball sorry to hear of Sadie's going but it was the right decision at the right time. But it doesn't make it any easier.
They are family, Sorry to hear that Sadie has gone.

Sorry to hear of Sadie’s passing. It is an awful decision to have to make, but I firmly believe that it is the most loving thing an owner can do. You will all miss her.
