Guest ripstop Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 yea i dont think it would be bad enough to put him to sleep Good as long as he can walk in comfort thats the main thing. DONT GIVE HIM IBUPROFEN, IT COULD BE ANYTHING FROM STOMACH TO GROIN RIGHT DOWN TO ANAL PROBLEMS,IS HE IN PAIN WHEN HE WALKS/RUNS, IBUPROFEN CAN AND WILL DAMAGE KIDNEYS, NOT EVERY DOG BUT SOME, I WOULDNT TAKE THE CHANCE, OR IT MIGHT JUST OF STRAINED SOMETHING, INBREEDING TOO CLOSE TO THE LINE SHOULDNT REALLY DO THAT MUCH, UNLESS THE BREEDER HASNT BEEN WATCHING FAULTS, JUST AN OBSERVATION RIPS Quote Link to post
