Sad story
My old border collie Ted was suffering from terrible pain in his hips and could hardly move. We took him to the vet expecting to have him put down, but the vet convinced us to try a glucosamine gel first as he said it had great results.
After about a week Ted was like a pup running around playing with the kids having a great life. About a week later the farmer was driving up the lane with his dogs in the back of the landrover, Ted heard them coming cleared the five bar gate and went straight under the landrover and broke his back. He always used to keep an eye out for Ted as this was a something he did a lot when he was younger but for the last couple of years he had'nt been jumping the gate. The farmer was devastated:Sad: and we still had to have Ted put down.

our old retreiver was also on metacam.....kept her hips and back legs going for her last few years, but eventually it just wasn't effective any more.We have 6 border collies. the older ones have VetVits Flexi-Joints (Glucosamine) £12 for 240 tablets.
Whan that stops working they have Metacam. (Prescription only) If the dog can tolerate it. some will have it in there food others I have to squirt it down with a syringe.

I know, it doesn't take much to set me off either. We had to wait a week before the vet could put Toby to sleep, it was sheer hell having to go through those last few days......just awful :Sad: Plus 15 minutes drive in the car with the two of us, my son (who was 26) and poor old Toby in the back
My daughter wouldn't come, she distanced herself from the whole thing.

If I were you I would change my vet, to make the poor animal wait with that injury is criminal.
We had to have a Greyhound put down while in Portugal a couple of years ago as one of her back legs shattered while chasing a poodle on the beach, devastating experience!
I should add that she was getting very old and going blind but we loved her non the less.

she died of old age (18) just as the vet was about to put her to sleep at home....but we still got a callout bill :Sad:
