Asking for Prayers for Wolf - Page 3

Please do keep us posted!  But it is encouraging that he is moving around on his own.  Does sound like maybe a pulled muscle or a pinched nerve.  Good luck!

Great news to hear,

Hoping Wolf is feeling better, he was probably happy to be back home, less stress,

All the best to you & Wolf.

Yay! More good news! Wolf's x-rays were pretty good, hips still look great, no infective processes, no parasites, no osteo sarcoma, no tumors of any kind, vertebral spaces even except for 1 that showed some calcification, there was some bridging along the spine, some spondylosis...so he has an arthritic spine; now for the not so good, he has an enlarged prostate, & some muscle wasting on the right side, so she said while he may not have been lame, he has not been using his right rear back & leg as fully as the left side for a while. So he's going home with an anti-inflammatory for 2 weeks, & resting for 2 weeks, & if no improvement, steroids & on to the neurologist. So, all in all, not so bad. Our vet suspected cancer after her initial exam, so not seeing those tumors was a big relief! All your prayers & positive energy & good vibes truly works, it's more powerful than most of us know! So, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! jackie harris

jackie, SOOOO very glad to hear the good news!!!!!! Give him a pat on the head from all us.

Hi Jackie, I am so glad all is well, when dogs have some muscle wasting, they start them with re-hab along with the
 non-steroid anti-infla,  but again I am very glad he is doing well.
Always,
Cee  

Cee, I asked the vet about rehab-ing him, but she wants to make sure he is improving with the Rimadyl first, then start rehab if he shows that the inflammation is diminishing. If no improvement, then to the neurologist before increasing his activity.....but here, I can show you exactly what HE thought of the vet today............LOL! Gotta love him! jackie harris

Gosh he looks great, such a handsome man dog and very  lucky to have you.  Thanks for the update.   Once the vet Ok's rehab, if you have access to a heated pool warm water is better than cold for the healing process, but any swimming is a good thing, especially if he enjoys it. 

And my stepdaughter takes such good care of him, too. He's a very good boy, he's asleep next to the bed, now, sooty toes & all.....I should be napping before we take him back home, but I'm over-tired, I guess. I enjoy having him around so much, he's got such a mellow, intelligent  personality. I think he is the finest GSD I've had the privledge of knowing, we owe it to him to make his life as good as it can be. He's earned it. But thanks Sue...I feel like it's the other way around, we're so lucky to have him in our lives. Best regards, jackie harris
