i have a ten week old koolie puppy just diagnosed with polyarthritis.
it started as a pretty severe stomach virus so we thought.... and my vet (who is fantastic) gave him antibiotics and a day into them he appeared to be making a fantastic recovery1 the next day tho he turned off his food again and was not able to walk properly and had developed the shakes. i took him back again and i was so shocked to be told my gorgeous ten week old had poly arthritis. i was sent home with pain killers, flagyl and antibiotics and he is due to go back tomorrow. unfortunately today he is unable to stand up at all and has been eating his food lying down its killing me to watch. my vet hasn't spoken much to me about treatments or likely outcomes and im hoping someone out there can help me.
we are terrified... we love him so much even though we have only had him 11days ..we had our eye on him for weeks prior.
we are up for what ever it takes.. so please if anyone could help please contact me
thankyou
