hi. we adopted a 5 yr old male sammie from a rescue 2 months ago. he is underweight and has a curvature on spine which is obvious to see when he is seated. his feet turn inward a bit when standing and he hasnt the trademark sammie stride when walking. possibly a bowel issue too as cleaning his rear is a near daily chore. we raw feed. we tried dry food briefly but it was much worse. have any of you good people got any advice on therapies that might correct his posture etc. chiropractic etc. he also has an infection in both eyes - red around surrounding skin. we have tried drops from vet but of no use. he doesnt seem bothered, no rubbing eyes with paws or squinting. any suggestions would be appreciated. we sadly lost our 12 year old sammie a few months prior, so we have plenty of experience. Oscar is probably the runt, but hopefully can be fixed. surgery is a last resort, we will try everything else first. thank you
