Had an xray done and his back has some fused vertibrae that are causing his back legs to be weak. He has trouble straightening them out and he sometimes crouches down. He is now on Tramadol and Rimadyl, so hopefully it will give him some relief. Not much more we can do than make him comfortable since he's 10 1/2.
Bless his heart....
Poor Ollie. Hope the meds help him out some. Hugs to you guys...

Thanks Amy..
he's such a sweet old guy. I wish we could do more for him.
Yes, same here
You were right. Same age, same issues, sort of. Here`s hoping Oliver and Mr. Higgins feel better really soon so they can get back to being themselves. I hope this is not going to be a permanent situation for either bully. Kisses to Oliver.
BTW I always wanted to name my son Oliver and my (then) husband did not like it. I resorted to naming my cat Oliver. Beautiful name.
Thank you, I love the name Oliver too...
Hope both our guys start feeling better! The tramadol helped, with just one dose he is standing straighter.
yes, Tramadol is good
Mr. Higgins has been on it many times. 7 surgeries, my poor baby.
I have a little spotted donkey named Oliver:-)
I love that name:-)
