About Rex

Dalmatian / Poodle
Age: Adult
Sex: Male

[Read About Natural Cancer Care] Rex is the best dog , three weeks ago he started limping on one hind leg and week later paralyzed with both legs, he's currently in a wheelchair and does well , he takes one glucosamine a day snd some probiotics, is appetite is good but he's just sad and hates that he soils himself , I have tried Texas catheters on him but they aren't eorking , he loves his daily bath snd his orthopedic bed, me snd my husband eork different shifts and I'm unable to put him in wheelchair alone and if he was a small dog caring for him would not be. A problem , at this time it's hard to tell if he's in pain , I had a vet mske a house visit anc dhes sudpects a tumor on his spine, he's not incontinent by choice we just can't get him outside fast enough , we tried doggie diapers snd no luck they're either, he may have little time left or maybe a year but as much as we have tried everything to properly care for him I don't feel good about him having to lay around all day till we can get him into chair , it's heartbreaking and everyone tells us it's time to put him to sleep but I don't think he's ready yet . He is a once in a lifetime dog and we love him too much to keep him living like he is , he needs 24 hour care and wotking thry way we do it's not feasible and not fair to him
