Good everning. This may end up being fairly long but I just joined this forum in hopes that someone may be able to help...
We have a 19 month old boxer who is always full of energy. Here lately, he has been so weak. He was waking us up late at night crying. We took him to the vet twice. They kept him over night both times. They sent him home with Doxycycline and Prednisone. He got better for a few days now it's happening all over again but seems worse. He is alert, but weak. He only gets up if it is absolutely necessary. He wants to sit up but he has to lay back down.
They said that it could be a one of a few things... arthritis, growing pains, feeding him too much (he is only 61 pounds), cancer...
Doesn't seem like they know what is wrong... But vet bills sure do add up.
He is so weak it's pitiful. This is definitely not usual for him. Does anyone have any ideas??
