I feel so sad and had to write this post to see if anyone has any wisdom to stop myself going crazy.
When we got Bella she had a bad limp and the vet said that her joints dislocated when she walked. She was about 6 when we got her back in November but full of life.
Yesterday she wouldn't stand up to go for a walk, when we got her to move her bad leg was 'hanging' and if she put it down it slipped underneath her. We weren't sure if she was just stiff so we waited to see how it was today and it was worse and when I picked her up to take her out for a wee she yelped in pain and does each time - but we have to pick her up because she can't walk. We have a vets appointment at 5 and the wait is really upsetting.
Do dogs get put down for this? I feel sick with worry, as I have no idea what the vet is going to suggest... please help? :-(
