, Luckey, thnxxx for yr. responses. I need v. specific help. My dog is very old ; he has arthritis and spondulosis and a host of other things. He refuses to walk. He can but it is too painful. he has learnt to scoot on his back-end. He is on all sorts of medication but he has to try and walk again - otherwise his future is not too good. I need an animal behaviourist to work with him to get him to try to walk again. I am not doing it right, and he is getting more and more reluctant to even try. I am desperate and don't really want to dwell on his condition. We really need some expert help on this.
but years ago.... there's a human-raised tiger (bought from russian circus) which had hip (bone?) problem and couldn't stand still or walk/run "normally". His owner brought him to the vet in Tmn Segar, Cheras. He was treated by the vet in the clinic for 2 years. I visited the tiger very often and saw the improvement. What happened after that? sorry.... i don't know.
Just something to share with you, hope you could find a vet who's expertise on this matter. It sounds to me it's URGENT for you to seek advice from vet.
