Has anybody been able to help their old guys with hind leg weakness? Stretching? PT?
I know he’s not going to go back to normal but trying to see what I can do about his hind leg fatigue. If he stands in one place too long he’ll eventually slowly just law down. (He also has arthritis). The vet was very unhelpful.
What has everybody done to help with hind leg weakness in their old dogs? Our is 12 with bad arthritis and lately his back legs are starting to give out more often when he’s just standing there.
Is there anything we can do to help strengthen them?
He’s already on librela which does seem to help.
Is urine and decal incontinence enough of a reason to stop Librela injections? It’s only been one shot and I’m worried it’ll get worse if we continue.
Dog is peeing and pooping in the house which he’d never done before. Plus peeing as he walks and not waiting until his stream is done to start moving again.

We have a 60lb lab/pit/box mix with pretty bad arthritis. slow to get up, achey, stiff etc. at his vet visit 2 weeks go he was given a shot of Librela and a weeks worth of Quellin we noticed some positive changes right away (i think it was the Quellin). No issues so far. However, with his next shot date coming up soon im getting more and more nervous about continuing the Librela after reading so many horror stories. our vet didn’t do any bloodwork or anything before prescribing, just manual and visual tests. I am wondering if there are other options we should be trying before going down this road. Has anyone had good luck with other arthritis meds for old guys?
I’ve been doing nasal rinses and Flonase day and night and sometimes taking Claritin. But I feel like on the day I take the antihistamine my fullness/pressure is much worse and my sinuses get so so dry. How am I supposed to move the mucus/fluid if everything is like a desert!
Does anyone else feel like antihistamines don’t help them with this issue?
I have the regular popping, clicking, inflammation, fullness and pressure symptoms
