Technically he may not be a doctor anymore. He has a video explaining it but basically I’m saying because he gives honest information he didn’t fit in with the rip people off club and his license to practice revoked.
People dismiss a dogs unsteady legs for old age but sometimes it's just sore paws. When a dog has sore paws he wont want you to touch them so you have to be creative. The way I cut my dog's nails is I place a bowl with a little milk (can mix it with some water) in it in front of him, he has to be lying down when drinking. Then I cut one nail. It takes time. You have to repeat the process. Sometimes I only cut four nails a day. It's made a huge difference in his life. He walks with more vigour, he sits and gets up way faster and easily.
I love your videos, recently discovered your channel and it helps me a lot to prepare my Animals Naturopath final exams. We need more teachers, vets and natutopaths like you ❤ Thanks!
doctor, you really deserve a compliment! i can feel your heart in your work and that is the essence... much love and respect to you and your family, you helped me and my staffordshire bullterrier a lot! my dog has acl problems and we are waiting for braces to arrive and we will try it :)
Thank you so much for this comprehensive video!! I was overwhelmed with information online but your video has it all in one place. I love the way you explain things. I am in my third month of no coffee and going strong!
Louis ♥ One in a million. Thank you SO much. I also have a "Louis" . He is 10 and never seems to be in pain but his feet drag. He still loves to walk & often looks confused when his rear doesn't respond. I had no idea what was going on but now I do. Bless your heart, Sir. We didn't go to the vet because of Covid. I can't tell you how much you have helped.
I'm literally in tears right now because I thought my dog has degenerative myelopathy, unfortunately at the moment I am so financially strapped that I no way I could take my dog to the vet but knowing that she is not dying from a degenerative disease with your freely given information that she does have something that is more than likely treatable is a huge relief
You are an amazing person and doing an incredible thing! Your very helpful, informed and straightforward. I appreciate the time you take to do these videos!
This was perfect. We just adopted a senior dog a few days ago and she has been in a lot of discomfort, getting up and down. It’s a struggle, but I also see the very audible clicking. We have occasional crankiness at our other dog who usually minds their business. The struggle to get up. This gives me good intel and points to share with our vet this upcoming week. To hopefully medication as needed to give her some relief.
@@VeterinarySecrets From what I can tell, it's arthritis. I give her children's ibuprofen every couple of days and it seems to work. She's a Boston so I don't give a large milligram. Thank you again.
OMG THANK GOD FOR YOU SIR. My dog was just diagnosed with spinal stenosis. The veterinarian put him on a steroid, muscle relaxer, pain med, and antacid. She said it would help with the healing. She said hopefully he doesn't need surgery. Thank You!!!
Thank you for the taking the time to differentiate the three problems. My GS woke up one morning a few days ago and was not able to move both hind legs , she is happy and is eating and is able to sit up , I use a sling to walk her. This is the most heart breaking thing to see. I did order 95% Curcumin which has flaxseed salmon oil and a few other things you mentioned would help. All I can say I hope and pray a cure is found for these innocent creatures. I noticed that this condition worsened when I gave her carprofen., which I have now stopped
How is your dog today? My girl just got diagnosed with hip dysplasia and the Carprofen I feel is making her more wobbly in her hind legs. We are seeing the different vet on Wednesday for a 2nd opinion
We adopted a senior 🐶 plott hound 11. She was the best match for my senior golden this past November. This video really helped me identify what was wrong with her. I knew it was more than hip displaecia, because of how upset she would get about a few areas in her back. She was crated at the shelter around 7 years; which had health impacts but she is just as spunky as can be. Joint support has helped tremendously. Our vet gave her anti-inflammatory Rx, but we only use it very sparingly because I don’t want it to impact her internal health (liver and kidneys) which is good. We also gated the stairs, so she doesn’t climb them more than to go to bed. We lift her also as needed. I am looking forward to watching some of your other natural remedies videos. Quality of life is of paramount importance and you definitely have some 👍 tips.
Thank you so much for this video. I've just been looking for more information about degenerative myelopathy after my dog was diagnosed with it and came across you. My dog hates going to the vet, and with coronavirus I wasn't able to go in the room with him, so wasn't sure how much/how well they were able examine him. They said he had been difficult to handle, but it seemed that the pain was in his back. After going through your video, it seems the pain is definitely not in the back, but in the hip. Might film my dog's reactions to take with me to a future appointment so they can get a better idea of how to help us. Fantastic video, and very well explained.
Been watching your videos since my boy was a wee lad, he's now a senior and for the first time I have found him struggling to stand or walk at some points. He has stopped jumping up on to surfaces he used to leap at no problem, and drags his back legs (and gets tired more) on walks... Tonight I had to literally slide him downstairs on his bed so I could get him on the same floor as to door out to potty, not knowing what was wrong, in a panic... Thank you for your videos on how to help him, first place I went to for advice when I realized the signs were adding up to arthritis, hip dysplasia or some such. With these tips, I can better source what COULD be wrong and help ease his discomfort, while we wait for the appointment with the vet to do an exam. Gods all bless you, so glad I subbed to you all those years ago now! My boy Bran (like the muffins and Game of Thrones character... should have thought that name through better) and I both thank you.
My dog is a crossbreed staffy and bull mastiff and he is starting to get arthritis, and it is only pain in the morning and at night when he has been lying down for a while hopefully dad takes him to the vet soon
Lewis is in a whole other category unto itself ~ there is no way you can't fall in love with this dog! What a doll! This video was very helpful in trying to understand and evaluate symptoms in our dogs. Do you have a chart showing accupressure points on dogs?
Thank you for this, Lewis looks just like my boy Blackjack, and he’s 11 now.. he’s been dragging his back leg, and limping a lot, it’s gotten progressively worse within the past couple weeks.. massage seems to be helping quite a bit! 💖
Thanks for the great video,I’m going through the same thing with my fur baby. Your video was so helpful. Lewis is a beautiful patient and would love to have him. He’s such a sweetheart. Thanks again.
@@VeterinarySecrets My Golden Retriever, Link, will be 11 years old in April. He currently has Hypothyroidism, his Heart has a small amount of fluid around it, his inhalation and exhalation (breathing) was quite forced. About 6 months ago this all began to show. He's currently taking Vetmedin, Theophylline, Lasix, and Soloxine. I give him Salmon Oil w/ Omega 3 and 6, Hemp Seed Oil, as well as Turmeric as an anti inflammatory, also Hawthorn and Dandelion. It's quite amazing how the Herbs really DO HELP. I give him Acupressure at night on his hip area, as well as the Massage and work on his Hip Mobility everyday, which I learned from your videos. He will sleep with a pillow between his hind legs. He's my 'fur' son and I'll do whatever he needs! He's My Boy! ... Anyhoo, Your dedication to animals is Above and Beyond. Again, Thank You, You're A Godsend! Have a blessed day, ~ B ... (aka Link's Mommy)
I'm so glad that I can text as much as I want in this comment section, Louis is such a good boy he knows he's helping you help others, I can read dogs very well and he is just letting you do the norm. He's used to this from you and plays along every time. RIP Lewis 💙. Thank you Luis for all you have done for us, you're such a good boy letting Daddy teach us how to take care of our fur babies. Thank you Andrew Jones for helping all of us help our pets. I'm sure you know how dachshunds front legs are and how it's hard for them to spread apart from the chest. That's the way my dachshund Chloe is and when I told the that's assistant that her front legs don't spread apart and be very careful when removing her tumor in her armpit. She told me when dogs are under they tend to be more relaxed and able to spread apart. As a pet owner I'm very aware of my dog in every way since I'm home everyday and she is my caregiver❤ I noticed her limping but I can't remember if it was right after surgery or a week or so later. If they accidentally put her arm apart more than it should go what muscle would they have torn or possibly hurt? I am not accusing I am just trying to figure out why after removing the tumor she now has this limp. When she walks her head Bobs up and down as she is not wanting to put too much pressure but yet she is walking on her left front leg. What's really strange is she prefers to run. I have noticed she will wait for me to get 12 feet in front of her when I ask her if she's ready to eat and then she runs into the kitchen. Now I know she has addictions like a cat does with a string. She has to chase the dogs along the fence when I'm outside no matter how hard I try to train her not to. She also still chases squirrels (God bless her) dachshunds love to Chase. I think I've wrote enough for now even though I have so much to ask. So reminder the question I have for you today is if her front legs were spread apart more than they should what muscle could possibly be injured? Should I be keeping her in the laundry room restricted of normal activities to help this healing process? Of course letting her out for potty breaks. Thank you for everything you do.😊👍💜 oh yeah one more thing, I'm able to pull her whole arm backwards towards her rear as she's lying down and if I were to try to stretch the arm forward towards her head she pulls back
Thanks! That’s how my dog is walking😢 it would be helpful to see more examples of the dog walking and how they walk depending on what the issue is… I’m k no it sure yet what her problem is but she doesn’t seem in pain so I’m just researching here a little first
Last night, My Jadah Crusada got off the couch and started limping...I'm so nervous to find out what is wrong with my baby, tomorrow I will take her in...I hope it is not too serious... I jus love her so much😞
My dog had compress nerve in three areas but sadly we had to put him to sleep we only know he had compress nerve because he got an xray done he was 14 years old and I miss him so much we always had to put him down because he was losing weight you could see his bones ..
Help me ! My dog has screws n pin and a rod in in her left hind leg. From a dog fight years ago. Today, after a long car ride , she can’t walk! Help !! 7/27/21!
My dog has weakness in her back left leg to the point of flopping her left rear down and scooting on her rear to get up. She is also walking with a curved spine. She has had knee issues in that left leg for a long time.Not sure what this is-will be taking her to the vet.
Thanks doc, Our 14 yr old bubba has continuing hip dysplasia and i try to help him to get down or up in a car by carrying him. We have him on powdered joint care and natural pain meds. He yelps sometimes and when i tried to pet him this morning tried to bite me out of a deep sleep. I barely touched his shoulder. He's able to walk, and still enjoys walking in the dog park in our complex. Could the areas that he doesn't want to be touched nerve damage, cancer? Your advice for castor oil when he swolled a plastic bag, saved us from putting him down. We went to 2 vets, they wanted to operate, $$$$. Last vet was Tennessee college for vet care. Sad what vets are all about today $$$$ not animal care
Can you help me my dog is in pain and discomfort and she keeps losing balance from her front paws were she falls but she not lose her back legs and her neck stiff please help😢
My 4 year old Shar pei mix is in pain. Assuming he fell on ice pulled a muscle. Later he was whining in pain unable to get in a comfortable position. Then he was full of gas passing gas but no smell . After 2 days he still can’t sit down all the way. Trying to get him to see a vet. Wondering if the stomach issue is related to the not able to sit (pulled muscle) he’s pooping peeing and has an appetite but lethargic
@@VeterinarySecrets Yes...awesome help! Flax is in pet food and has estrogen which may make bones weak. Maybe that is hurting pets making their back weak/sag etc.. Thanks for the e book link!
How l can help a dog 14years old with a problem with his hind legs he dosent support them well,the problem is probably neurological,he takes pills for joints but they dont help,lam in Greece,thank you
Thanks for walking through these examinations. my vet's exam left a lot to be desired - no physical exam, just xrays which showed no spine or hip problems. So still trying to figure out the cause of limping and odd holding up of rear if running, some rear paw drag after 40min walk, not fully weight-bearing on left hind leg.
Darn it. Ok, I suppose going back into the vet is warranted. He prescribed Onsior (robenacoxib) 1 pill/day for 3 days to see if it helped (hasn't really). I reduced her activity and already give her turmeric though now that I've seen your pain management video, it looks like I need to be combining turmeric with another herb (forgot the name) to be most effective. Thanks for providing all this helpful information. It's great to have you and your series as a resource and to be able to refer back to it easily.
My dog lost his ability to move his hind legs from one day to another. I have gone to many veterinarians and no one has been to diagnose my dog. It has been a year since that happend, he now is able to move his hind legs but they collapse after a while.
Same thing happened to my dog, one day he was walking normal, and the next day it couldn't use his back legs. Have visited 2 veterinarians and they cant find anything... they just give me pain killers.... one thing they do great is charge you a lot...
My 8 year old Boxer has weak hind left leg and knuckleing. Degenerative myelopathy is suspect. However, she has twitching with that leg in her sleep. Is the twitching part of DM. She was OFA when she was very young and in the show ring, and was excellent. I had her x-rayed recently and the hips are still looking good. The twitching lasts about 20 seconds. Very slight symptoms started after a cesarean of 5 years ago. DM is usually 6 months to a year before considering putting the animal to sleep. Thank you, John
This breaks my heart bc my boxer seems to show mild of these we live on 2 stories and he has to climb the stairs and he jumps into our bed he just randomly did this 😢 I gave him some bromelain and liver I also have him on a diet I now hate we live in two story home
Thank you for your channel. Pain in animals, I had a dog that developed arthritis early on in her life, I gave her Arnica, it was so amazing, the vet wanted to put her on steroids, which I did not like the sound of. But the Arnica worked fantasticly, she had to have it for the rest of her life, but it gave her quality of life.
Thank you so much for that information. We will have to buy Arnica whole herb capsules. I was trying to figure out what to do. Kenny is on the really harsh medication from a local vet right now and I read that it has horrific side effects and not making their quality of life much better. Pharma drugs = using an atomic bomb to get rid of lice.
I found the drops worked really well, she was on two tsps towards the end of her life, steroids reduce their lifespan and do other nasty things to them, I hope this works well for Kenny,
PINK CHAMPAGNE Thank you so much Pink. Do you think the whole herb capsules might work as well? How many of those would be required? I heard that Arnica is also a poisonous plant and can be harmful in too high of a dosis. But the overall reviews on Arnica are very good.
No its not poisonous, not like they supply it in a liquid, My dog was 18kg and started at a quarter tsp, It is quite safe, I do not know about the capsules.
Thank you so much Pink. I just researched Arnica. It gets great reviews from all kinds of people including Dr. Andrew Weil. I looked for it in capsule dried herb form but they don't sell it anywhere. It is only available in homeopathic and highly diluted form in liquid or sugar tablets. What is the company you got it from? Does it contain alcohol? I will get it for Kenny. My husband is a bit quick with giving him the hard stuff from the vet. He is on it currently but it seems to only last as long as regular pain tablets last which is a few hours only. This is all so difficult I can't describe it in words. I love Kenny more than anything in the entire infinite universe and I live in worries and eternal sadness.
My dog recently was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. She’s been favoring her back right leg. She doesn’t like to put her back right leg down flat or put all the weight down on it. Is that typical for the condition. She started simparico 4 months ago . She will be 4 yrs in July
Would arthritis in a dog's spine cause them to yelp in pain? My vet did xray and said it was arthritis.. i just dont see how that would cause him to suddenly start yelling out in pain the last couple days.
My 15 year old lab/ pitbull is having some issues my vet just cant pin pinot to me. She is dragging her right front leg and limping around. We have been putting an ice pack on it with a homemade holder I made out of a waist trimmer belt I purchased for 5 dollars. I cut holes in it to put her legs through so we can Velcro it around her upper body to hold a ice pack on her shoulder. She is on a pain killer Tramidine I believe its called. But I dont see much help from it. She lays around winning and if we try to help her up she yelps. I need help....please!
I have a 8 Yr old, going on 9 July 11th, black lab great pyrenees, some months ago, I noticed her limping on her right side, keep on taking her to her doctor, her last visit was last Monday, they did X-rays, some cutting the nails, they did not find any broken bones, but I know there is something wrong, last Monday we got cosequin giving her 3 tablets per day, or 1 1/2 per meal. Yesterday come across your video about castor oil, so we went to our health food store, they had castor oil by heritage store, we rub the oil from her front right from paw to her elbow on both front, right and left, did two dozes. This morning about 30 minutes let her go bathroom. And noticed still limping on her right front, when I got close to her, as she was walking, I put my hands on both shoulders, right and left, one is normal which is the left. The right not close to the left. Maybe her shoulder is somewhat out, I’m not sure, like I mentioned we took nala, to her vet last Monday, they found no broken bones anywhere. What do you think. Not sure what else to do. I did also buy your Ultimate Omega 3 Formula for Dogs and Cats Economy Size (180 Softgels), she was a great diet from just food for dogs, her meal is beef and russet potato recipes, consist of learn ground beef, beef liver, russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, peas, apples, premium EPA / DHA, gluten free, safflower oil. Also in each 72oz 4lbs 8 oz package there is supplements that go in too, I can’t list then all, as they are too many, we used do the DIY kits from just food for dogs, took 8-9 hours prep the food, so decided, have them do it for us, they have kitchen all over the US, can go and see, haven’t seen one in person yet. Any ideas, or suggestions, I’ve had nala since she was 6 months, like to see her walk liked she used to do before. As her doctor did not find anything. Kinda don’t know what the next step would be if there is one. Help!
The family vet just prescribed steroids (Prednisone) for my dog, Molly. Things seem to be better for her now, before last night she couldn't get up or go up/down stairs for about a few days, she has declined rapidly within the past few days before this past night. It seems to be neurologically based on what the vet told my Dad, what condition seems to be in play based on the evidence? Update: It worked for about 2 days, and then she crashed hard, back to square one. We had to put her down on that Sunday, April 18th, 2021. It's been hard at first, but I think I moved on to a better place than where I was almost a year ago.
My little dog of six years old has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and she favors her right leg and keeps it up and when I massage it and do Reiki on it, then she brings it down but not fully. The veterinarian took x-rays and said that she might need surgery and she will have arthritis. Can you tell me is there something I can give her for arthritis? He has got her on an anti-inflammatory, tramadol for pain, and a supplement and a supplement. Carprofen, which he told me could cause kidney troubles if prolonged use, which he does not want to do. Can you give me some information please I am more of a holistic person and don’t want my dog to be on all these drugs or have surgery. Thank you very much.
This is an old video but the trick with coffee is not to rely on it in the morning. If your goal is no more than one or two cups a day, then don't drink it until by the time your first or second dose expires, you can crash comfortably at home. When you start drinking it in the morning to wake up, you're in trouble for the rest of the day because the crash isn't worth the minimal jump start.
My dog is 7 year old German shepherd... He limps when he gets up but becomes normal after walking for sometime... I am really worried about him... Please tell what could be the reason?
My 9 year old German shepherd female is not doing any physical activity from the couple of days . She was really healthy before and suddenly she became very lazy and also she find it really hard to stand and walk.she keeps on changing her position too is it Arthritis or disc problem. She is not using her right leg properly. Please reply . Thanks
Thank you for this video. What about nerve twitching (fasciculation) in all 4 limbs and muscle atrophe along with going paralyzed in the back legs and then slowly going paralyzed in the front too? My dog had this happen but made a seemingly full recovery with a round of Prednisone with no issues for 7 months with no medication, then it suddenly started again with the back legs and now moving to his front legs again. He has responsiveness but no strength or control left. Any advise or opinion would greatly appreciated. Thank you.
My dog is old she was put in her pen she is half pit /half dalmantion. I want to check her to give her another blanket and noticed she couldn't walk her back legs she started dragging I brought her inside ,but I have to pick her up she isn't moving much🤔we don't have money right now to go to a vet.
hi i have a German Shepard dog that used to walk and eat good, but a week ago his back leg got weak and he cant get up he has like 7 months. he still eats but he cant get up to walk due to his back legs. i want to see what can caused this to happen.
If a dog has a CCL tear (or at least diagnosed with one), can they also show signs of knuckling? Since resting, the leg feels hot to the touch and more swollen. Waiting to get into an Ortho doc (vet referral).
At 1am my dog thru up 2 times, looked like liver pate. , morning suddenly, back legs wouldn't work,day before playing and running. Did she have a stroke, can I help her walk again? She's 9 yrs. A mix terrier chiwawha.
My dogs paw started folding under her and she placed it back the way it was supposed to go she is in a lot of pain now the vet prescrib e the tramadol but I think I'm going to try to get her something else that'll work better for her thanks for sharing this video 👍
I have to be so careful with clipping his nails. Doxie's have long nails and I clipped a little to close once. He didn't bleed to death like one vet told me 🙄 I just kept a cotton ball there for a few and the bleeding stopped pretty quick.
Can a dog have both hip dysplasia/arthritis and degenerative mylopithy? My golden retriever max has pain and has trouble even standing now. Hes 11 yrs.old. dogs with dm don't generally have pain. But max yelps when he tries to get up and walk.
I have a 4 year old border springer and she is limping on her right back leg and when we go out for walks and when she comes back in as a rest and then she gets up out of her bed she is limping and she holding it up please can you tell me what you think it is she has been doing it for a couple of months now she is on some tablets I got from my vets they are lintbells yumove for the joints but they do not seem to be working
This guy is rare. He was brave enough to go against the system to expand healthcare for dogs.
Thank you
Wish there was more like you in this world. Most doctors just rip people off their money.
Technically he may not be a doctor anymore. He has a video explaining it but basically I’m saying because he gives honest information he didn’t fit in with the rip people off club and his license to practice revoked.
He still is a doctor, just not in practice. You cannot take away the knowledge.@@brandonhenn5889
People dismiss a dogs unsteady legs for old age but sometimes it's just sore paws. When a dog has sore paws he wont want you to touch them so you have to be creative.

I'm happy to help any way I can.
Can a skin bacteria cause my dog not to walk or his legs bend?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! I hate seeing my baby girl in any discomfort.
You're welcome. I hope she's feeling better.
@@VeterinarySecrets From what I can tell, it's arthritis. I give her children's ibuprofen every couple of days and it seems to work. She's a Boston so I don't give a large milligram. Thank you again.
My GSD is 14 and has arthritis on his right hip. This video was very informative.
Thank you, doctor. That gives much better understanding about what the problem is. Subscribed!
Thanks!
This has been the exact information I needed for my German shepherd thank you ..
OMG THANK GOD FOR YOU SIR. My dog was just diagnosed with spinal stenosis. The veterinarian put him on a steroid, muscle relaxer, pain med, and antacid. She said it would help with the healing. She said hopefully he doesn't need surgery. Thank You!!!
You are welcome
My 2 year old pup is dealing with this now. How long did this effect your dog and did you end up having him do the surgery?
Thank you for the taking the time to differentiate the three problems. My GS woke up one morning a few days ago and was not able to move both hind legs , she is happy and is eating and is able to sit up , I use a sling to walk her.

With these tips, I can better source what COULD be wrong and help ease his discomfort, while we wait for the appointment with the vet to do an exam.
Gods all bless you, so glad I subbed to you all those years ago now! My boy Bran (like the muffins and Game of Thrones character... should have thought that name through better) and I both thank you.
I love how calm this dog is lol
My dog is a crossbreed staffy and bull mastiff and he is starting to get arthritis, and it is only pain in the morning and at night when he has been lying down for a while hopefully dad takes him to the vet soon
Wagnificent dogscription on how to examine & understand your furlegger's condition. Thank you again Dr. Jones. 🐾💜🐾
You're welcome
Lewis is in a whole other category unto itself ~ there is no way you can't fall in love with this dog! What a doll! This video was very helpful in trying to understand and evaluate symptoms in our dogs. Do you have a chart showing accupressure points on dogs?
I'll get a chart up on my blog

Thanks, Doc! That was fantastic! So glad we found you!
Thank you Doc. My dog is having hind leg problem. It’s so sad seeing her slowly not able to walk. We took her to the Doctor and they did MRI on her.
What happened?
Thank you for this, Lewis looks just like my boy Blackjack, and he’s 11 now.. he’s been dragging his back leg, and limping a lot, it’s gotten progressively worse within the past couple weeks.. massage seems to be helping quite a bit! 💖
Lewis is such a great dog!! Thank you for the video and the channel!!!!
I love this channel. Thank you so much for all your advice.
Thanks for the great video,I’m going through the same thing with my fur baby. Your video was so helpful.
Lewis is a beautiful patient and would love to have him. He’s such a sweetheart. Thanks again.
How do i get a vet like you in UK lol
If only Lewis would relax more! He is lovely.
I was thinking the same thing. Like he need a horse tranquilizer or something lmao
What a good helper 😊
Thank you ever so much. This is exactly what I needed to see. God bless you. Keep up your wonderful work.
You are so welcome
I love my coffee as well, Dr. J. ...

@@VeterinarySecrets My Golden Retriever, Link, will be 11 years old in April. He currently has Hypothyroidism, his Heart has a small amount of fluid around it, his inhalation and exhalation (breathing) was quite forced. About 6 months ago this all began to show. He's currently taking Vetmedin, Theophylline, Lasix, and Soloxine. I give him Salmon Oil w/ Omega 3 and 6, Hemp Seed Oil, as well as Turmeric as an anti inflammatory, also Hawthorn and Dandelion. It's quite amazing how the Herbs really DO HELP. I give him Acupressure at night on his hip area, as well as the Massage and work on his Hip Mobility everyday, which I learned from your videos. He will sleep with a pillow between his hind legs. He's my 'fur' son and I'll do whatever he needs! He's My Boy! ... Anyhoo, Your dedication to animals is Above and Beyond. Again, Thank You, You're A Godsend! Have a blessed day, ~ B ... (aka Link's Mommy)
God bless you, doctor! after watching this video I feel like better to work on my dog, I wish you were in Rhode Island

I'm so glad that I can text as much as I want in this comment section, Louis is such a good boy he knows he's helping you help others, I can read dogs very well and he is just letting you do the norm. He's used to this from you and plays along every time. RIP Lewis 💙. Thank you Luis for all you have done for us, you're such a good boy letting Daddy teach us how to take care of our fur babies. Thank you Andrew Jones for helping all of us help our pets. I'm sure you know how dachshunds front legs are and how it's hard for them to spread apart from the chest. That's the way my dachshund Chloe is and when I told the that's assistant that her front legs don't spread apart and be very careful when removing her tumor in her armpit. She told me when dogs are under they tend to be more relaxed and able to spread apart. As a pet owner I'm very aware of my dog in every way since I'm home everyday and she is my caregiver❤ I noticed her limping but I can't remember if it was right after surgery or a week or so later. If they accidentally put her arm apart more than it should go what muscle would they have torn or possibly hurt? I am not accusing I am just trying to figure out why after removing the tumor she now has this limp. When she walks her head Bobs up and down as she is not wanting to put too much pressure but yet she is walking on her left front leg. What's really strange is she prefers to run. I have noticed she will wait for me to get 12 feet in front of her when I ask her if she's ready to eat and then she runs into the kitchen. Now I know she has addictions like a cat does with a string. She has to chase the dogs along the fence when I'm outside no matter how hard I try to train her not to. She also still chases squirrels (God bless her) dachshunds love to Chase. I think I've wrote enough for now even though I have so much to ask. So reminder the question I have for you today is if her front legs were spread apart more than they should what muscle could possibly be injured? Should I be keeping her in the laundry room restricted of normal activities to help this healing process? Of course letting her out for potty breaks. Thank you for everything you do.😊👍💜 oh yeah one more thing, I'm able to pull her whole arm backwards towards her rear as she's lying down and if I were to try to stretch the arm forward towards her head she pulls back
Brilliant channel, so helpful.
I’d love to see how to handle the front legs- ats what my basenji has issues with n being treated.
Thanks! That’s how my dog is walking😢 it would be helpful to see more examples of the dog walking and how they walk depending on what the issue is… I’m k no it sure yet what her problem is but she doesn’t seem in pain so I’m just researching here a little first
Last night, My Jadah Crusada got off the couch and started limping...I'm so nervous to find out what is wrong with my baby, tomorrow I will take her in...I hope it is not too serious... I jus love her so much😞
My 17 year Westie is starting to have one leg slightly collapse, he has the will to walk but is struggling
His muscle tone has wasted also.
Would you please explain how to treat east test you showed on this video thank you and God Bless you
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!!!! Video was awesome and beyond helpful. Late to follow but forever fan!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

Wow, I just learn so much from you - great and invaluable information. Thank you so much for sharing 😁
Are Strokes and Seizures more often in The German Shepherd's types of breeds for Dog's in the veterinarian's?
My dog had compress nerve in three areas but sadly we had to put him to sleep we only know he had compress nerve because he got an xray done he was 14 years old and I miss him so much we always had to put him down because he was losing weight you could see his bones ..
I'm sorry.
Help me ! My dog has screws n pin and a rod in in her left hind leg. From a dog fight years ago. Today, after a long car ride , she can’t walk! Help !! 7/27/21!
My dog has weakness in her back left leg to the point of flopping her left rear down and scooting on her rear to get up. She is also walking with a curved spine. She has had knee issues in that left leg for a long time.Not sure what this is-will be taking her to the vet.
Thanks doc,
Our 14 yr old bubba has continuing hip dysplasia and i try to help him to get down or up in a car by carrying him. We have him on powdered joint care and natural pain meds. He yelps sometimes and when i tried to pet him this morning tried to bite me out of a deep sleep. I barely touched his shoulder. He's able to walk, and still enjoys walking in the dog park in our complex. Could the areas that he doesn't want to be touched nerve damage, cancer?
Your advice for castor oil when he swolled a plastic bag, saved us from putting him down. We went to 2 vets, they wanted to operate, $$$$. Last vet was Tennessee college for vet care. Sad what vets are all about today $$$$ not animal care
what can I do to reverse it
Awesome video. Really useful information and facts that I personally need and trust. TY.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for all your videos,God Bless you and your Family!
All your remedies that I try on my dogs,work great!
That's great to hear:)
I can't find the tooth paste I use to get at Walmart. It was for dogs and had a beefy taste.
Can you help me my dog is in pain and discomfort and she keeps losing balance from her front paws were she falls but she not lose her back legs and her neck stiff please help😢
My 4 year old Shar pei mix is in pain. Assuming he fell on ice pulled a muscle. Later he was whining in pain unable to get in a comfortable position. Then he was full of gas passing gas but no smell . After 2 days he still can’t sit down all the way. Trying to get him to see a vet.
Wondering if the stomach issue is related to the not able to sit (pulled muscle) he’s pooping peeing and has an appetite but lethargic
Gee Lewis really loves you
Coffee/tea are great for health. Coffee/tea may the brain/body if organic etc.. Great help! Thank you!

@@VeterinarySecrets Yes...awesome help! Flax is in pet food and has estrogen which may make bones weak. Maybe that is hurting pets making their back weak/sag etc.. Thanks for the e book link!
Hi. Thanks for sharing. What's the treatment for slipped dics and you described the nerves and vavks arched hind legs don't hold
How l can help a dog 14years old with a problem with his hind legs he dosent support them well,the problem is probably neurological,he takes pills for joints but they dont help,lam in Greece,thank you
Thanks for walking through these examinations. my vet's exam left a lot to be desired - no physical exam, just xrays which showed no spine or hip problems. So still trying to figure out the cause of limping and odd holding up of rear if running, some rear paw drag after 40min walk, not fully weight-bearing on left hind leg.
Hi again- in most cases this would be an ACL (cruciate ligament) injury
Darn it. Ok, I suppose going back into the vet is warranted. He prescribed Onsior (robenacoxib) 1 pill/day for 3 days to see if it helped (hasn't really). I reduced her activity and already give her turmeric though now that I've seen your pain management video, it looks like I need to be combining turmeric with another herb (forgot the name) to be most effective. Thanks for providing all this helpful information. It's great to have you and your series as a resource and to be able to refer back to it easily.
My dog lost his ability to move his hind legs from one day to another. I have gone to many veterinarians and no one has been to diagnose my dog. It has been a year since that happend, he now is able to move his hind legs but they collapse after a while.
Same thing happened to my dog, one day he was walking normal, and the next day it couldn't use his back legs. Have visited 2 veterinarians and they cant find anything... they just give me pain killers.... one thing they do great is charge you a lot...
Thank you for all you do here very helpful
My 8 year old Boxer has weak hind left leg and knuckleing. Degenerative myelopathy is suspect. However, she has twitching with that leg in her sleep. Is the twitching part of DM. She was OFA when she was very young and in the show ring, and was excellent. I had her x-rayed recently and the hips are still looking good. The twitching lasts about 20 seconds. Very slight symptoms started after a cesarean of 5 years ago. DM is usually 6 months to a year before considering putting the animal to sleep. Thank you, John
This breaks my heart bc my boxer seems to show mild of these we live on 2 stories and he has to climb the stairs and he jumps into our bed he just randomly did this 😢 I gave him some bromelain and liver I also have him on a diet I now hate we live in two story home
Thank you for your channel. Pain in animals, I had a dog that developed arthritis early on in her life, I gave her Arnica, it was so amazing, the vet wanted to put her on steroids, which I did not like the sound of. But the Arnica worked fantasticly, she had to have it for the rest of her life, but it gave her quality of life.
Thank you so much for that information. We will have to buy Arnica whole herb capsules. I was trying to figure out what to do. Kenny is on the really harsh medication from a local vet right now and I read that it has horrific side effects and not making their quality of life much better. Pharma drugs = using an atomic bomb to get rid of lice.
I found the drops worked really well, she was on two tsps towards the end of her life, steroids reduce their lifespan and do other nasty things to them, I hope this works well for Kenny,
PINK CHAMPAGNE Thank you so much Pink. Do you think the whole herb capsules might work as well? How many of those would be required? I heard that Arnica is also a poisonous plant and can be harmful in too high of a dosis. But the overall reviews on Arnica are very good.
No its not poisonous, not like they supply it in a liquid, My dog was 18kg and started at a quarter tsp, It is quite safe, I do not know about the capsules.
Thank you so much Pink. I just researched Arnica. It gets great reviews from all kinds of people including Dr. Andrew Weil. I looked for it in capsule dried herb form but they don't sell it anywhere. It is only available in homeopathic and highly diluted form in liquid or sugar tablets. What is the company you got it from? Does it contain alcohol? I will get it for Kenny. My husband is a bit quick with giving him the hard stuff from the vet. He is on it currently but it seems to only last as long as regular pain tablets last which is a few hours only. This is all so difficult I can't describe it in words. I love Kenny more than anything in the entire infinite universe and I live in worries and eternal sadness.
My dog recently was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. She’s been favoring her back right leg. She doesn’t like to put her back right leg down flat or put all the weight down on it. Is that typical for the condition. She started simparico 4 months ago . She will be 4 yrs in July
Would arthritis in a dog's spine cause them to yelp in pain? My vet did xray and said it was arthritis.. i just dont see how that would cause him to suddenly start yelling out in pain the last couple days.
Hi, typically this is more associated with a prolapsed disc- please see your vet again
please help me.. my dog's leg can't stop shaken . he's not giggling or cold .. i dont have money to bring him to vet.. 😔😔😔
My 15 year old lab/ pitbull is having some issues my vet just cant pin pinot to me. She is dragging her right front leg and limping around. We have been putting an ice pack on it with a homemade holder I made out of a waist trimmer belt I purchased for 5 dollars. I cut holes in it to put her legs through so we can Velcro it around her upper body to hold a ice pack on her shoulder. She is on a pain killer Tramidine I believe its called. But I dont see much help from it. She lays around winning and if we try to help her up she yelps. I need help....please!
Kindly speak on leishmaniasis in dogs
I have a 8 Yr old, going on 9 July 11th, black lab great pyrenees, some months ago, I noticed her limping on her right side, keep on taking her to her doctor, her last visit was last Monday, they did X-rays, some cutting the nails, they did not find any broken bones, but I know there is something wrong, last Monday we got cosequin giving her 3 tablets per day, or 1 1/2 per meal. Yesterday come across your video about castor oil, so we went to our health food store, they had castor oil by heritage store, we rub the oil from her front right from paw to her elbow on both front, right and left, did two dozes. This morning about 30 minutes let her go bathroom. And noticed still limping on her right front, when I got close to her, as she was walking, I put my hands on both shoulders, right and left, one is normal which is the left. The right not close to the left. Maybe her shoulder is somewhat out, I’m not sure, like I mentioned we took nala, to her vet last Monday, they found no broken bones anywhere. What do you think. Not sure what else to do. I did also buy your Ultimate Omega 3 Formula for Dogs and Cats Economy Size (180 Softgels), she was a great diet from just food for dogs, her meal is beef and russet potato recipes, consist of learn ground beef, beef liver, russet potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, peas, apples, premium EPA / DHA, gluten free, safflower oil. Also in each 72oz 4lbs 8 oz package there is supplements that go in too, I can’t list then all, as they are too many, we used do the DIY kits from just food for dogs, took 8-9 hours prep the food, so decided, have them do it for us, they have kitchen all over the US, can go and see, haven’t seen one in person yet. Any ideas, or suggestions, I’ve had nala since she was 6 months, like to see her walk liked she used to do before. As her doctor did not find anything. Kinda don’t know what the next step would be if there is one. Help!
This is extremely helpful. Thank you. We are also taking your advice about natural pain relief.
Thanks Josie!
Thank you 🙏
The family vet just prescribed steroids (Prednisone) for my dog, Molly. Things seem to be better for her now, before last night she couldn't get up or go up/down stairs for about a few days, she has declined rapidly within the past few days before this past night. It seems to be neurologically based on what the vet told my Dad, what condition seems to be in play based on the evidence?
Update: It worked for about 2 days, and then she crashed hard, back to square one. We had to put her down on that Sunday, April 18th, 2021. It's been hard at first, but I think I moved on to a better place than where I was almost a year ago.
I wish you are here in Manila... our dog have a hard time walking and standing
My little dog of six years old has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and she favors her right leg and keeps it up and when I massage it and do Reiki on it, then she brings it down but not fully. The veterinarian took x-rays and said that she might need surgery and she will have arthritis. Can you tell me is there something I can give her for arthritis? He has got her on an anti-inflammatory, tramadol for pain, and a supplement and a supplement. Carprofen, which he told me could cause kidney troubles if prolonged use, which he does not want to do. Can you give me some information please I am more of a holistic person and don’t want my dog to be on all these drugs or have surgery. Thank you very much.
This is an old video but the trick with coffee is not to rely on it in the morning. If your goal is no more than one or two cups a day, then don't drink it until by the time your first or second dose expires, you can crash comfortably at home. When you start drinking it in the morning to wake up, you're in trouble for the rest of the day because the crash isn't worth the minimal jump start.
My dog is 7 year old German shepherd... He limps when he gets up but becomes normal after walking for sometime... I am really worried about him... Please tell what could be the reason?
My 9 year old German shepherd female is not doing any physical activity from the couple of days . She was really healthy before and suddenly she became very lazy and also she find it really hard to stand and walk.she keeps on changing her position too is it Arthritis or disc problem. She is not using her right leg properly.
Please reply .
Thanks
Please see your vet
Thank you for this video. What about nerve twitching (fasciculation) in all 4 limbs and muscle atrophe along with going paralyzed in the back legs and then slowly going paralyzed in the front too?
My dog had this happen but made a seemingly full recovery with a round of Prednisone with no issues for 7 months with no medication, then it suddenly started again with the back legs and now moving to his front legs again. He has responsiveness but no strength or control left. Any advise or opinion would greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Do you have a video addressing why dogs may drag their front paws and how to assess their shoulder and neck area?
Please check this video: th-cam.com/video/A3Tid78yNcs/w-d-xo.html
My dog is old she was put in her pen she is half pit /half dalmantion. I want to check her to give her another blanket and noticed she couldn't walk her back legs she started dragging I brought her inside ,but I have to pick her up she isn't moving much🤔we don't have money right now to go to a vet.
Sorry to hear of this. I would suggest seeing a vet if you can
hi i have a German Shepard dog that used to walk and eat good, but a week ago his back leg got weak and he cant get up he has like 7 months. he still eats but he cant get up to walk due to his back legs. i want to see what can caused this to happen.
Thanks for this video.very helpful and clear
You’re welcome! Happy to help 🙂
If a dog has a CCL tear (or at least diagnosed with one), can they also show signs of knuckling? Since resting, the leg feels hot to the touch and more swollen. Waiting to get into an Ortho doc (vet referral).
ha ha, the coffee deprivation + angry metal music so fits. IDK, go with decaffeinated coffee?
At 1am my dog thru up 2 times, looked like liver pate. , morning suddenly, back legs wouldn't work,day before playing and running. Did she have a stroke, can I help her walk again? She's 9 yrs. A mix terrier chiwawha.
My dogs paw started folding under her and she placed it back the way it was supposed to go she is in a lot of pain now the vet prescrib e the tramadol but I think I'm going to try to get her something else that'll work better for her thanks for sharing this video 👍
Welcome
Thank you for sharing this video .How long time (duration of massage therapy ) for daily massage ?
I have to be so careful with clipping his nails. Doxie's have long nails and I clipped a little to close once. He didn't bleed to death like one vet told me 🙄 I just kept a cotton ball there for a few and the bleeding stopped pretty quick.
Great video! Thank you
Can a dog have both hip dysplasia/arthritis and degenerative mylopithy? My golden retriever max has pain and has trouble even standing now. Hes 11 yrs.old. dogs with dm don't generally have pain. But max yelps when he tries to get up and walk.
Thanks for the video
I have a 4 year old border springer and she is limping on her right back leg and when we go out for walks and when she comes back in as a rest and then she gets up out of her bed she is limping and she holding it up please can you tell me what you think it is she has been doing it for a couple of months now she is on some tablets I got from my vets they are lintbells yumove for the joints but they do not seem to be working
