We have a dog Oliver, who is a 5.5 yr old pure beagle, that was unfortunately neutered too young at 6 months and weighs appx 50 lbs.
He is very reactive in a playful way to any animal he encounters, he is strongly food motivated. We rotate between homemade recipes from Dr Judy and SmallBatch raw, he is fed these exclusively.
We only do rabies per state law, and bordetella per daycare. Distemper combo is titered every 3 years, no other vaccines. We are a toxin free house, using an air-purifier, and we use a variety of supplements from Dr Beckers Proactive Paws and Woof Creek. No other meds.
The primary concern is that his gait is off, he sits lopsided, sometimes struggles to jump up, and seems depressed, we’ve noticed this on and off the last six or so months, at first, I thought nothing of it. But after watching some episodes of The Inside Scoop videos from Dr Judy, i’ve learned this is not normal. The condition seems the same regardless of any conditions, or timing.
No diagnostics have currently been done, but we do have an orthopedic evaluation scheduled with our primary veterinarian, she is however, conventional, but open to and respects my holistic point of view, i’m hoping to use this platform as a way to be prepared for that appointment.
Any suggestions or help? @Dr. Jeff @Dr. Christina
