Thank you for my English, yes, I'm not british, it's my 2nd language. Of caurse, we will visit vet, but in Russia we never kill pets because they sick or just old.

Irina please read my post above nobody is suggesting you should have your dog 'killed' we are asking that you get a vets advice they could be able to help your girl

irina... plz try taking ur dog to the vets.

they will more then likely give you some pain tablets to help him

sometimes my old dog cant walk, but ive got pain killers the vets gave me to help her wen she cant walk...next day shes up and walking as normal and doing things all by herself.

im sure the vet wont *kill* your dog, They will more then likely see if they can help him first befor a decition like that is made.

but take him to a vet..

Yes, we'll go to vet. Yes, my dog have the same thing: sometimes she can walking, sometimes not.

Ahhhh thats promising then ( in a funny kinda way ).

pain killers maywell be all she need.

it could be something else tho...but so glad ur gonna take her to the vets

If money is the problem the RSPCA or the PDSA may be ale to help, they will treat animals for a small donation.

Sorry, I didn't realise. I thought you meant only her back legs were having a problem.

I have to agree here. Alot of people have an ill animal but don't get the animal put to sleep, because they don't want to let go or to have to miss it when it's gone. Of course it's hard letting go of a much loved pet, but I know for sure I would rather have my pet put to sleep to stop any suffering, rather than to just keep me company and save my heart from breaking. Jesus, as the owner you take FULL responsibility of the animals care and treatment. A pet can't always tell you it's in pain or just had enough, so we need to think for them sometimes. Bit different in humans ...

Sorry, but a disabled human compared to a disabled animal is completely different!! imo. At least a human can let you know when they have had enough or are in pain etc. What can your dog do exactly to tell you she's had enough? she's in pain? she's sad? she's depressed? she's just fed up? Yeah, she can whine... but not all dogs whine when in pain/sad or whatever, they go quiet and do nothing. Your dog doesn't have much choice but to do nothing, so how are you going to know what's going on with her?

You need to get your dog to a vet to see why your dog has suddenly started having problems with walking. You cannot just diagnose something like this yourself and say it's due to age. You really need to get your dog to a vet to get checked over properly and maybe go from there.

I don't mean to be rude. But I feel you are being unfair to your dog. If your dog can't walk at all sometimes, what sort of life is that? your dog is soiling itself, come on... think about it seriously please.

Irina, are you in the UK or Russia?

So Irina have you had the dog to the vet today - she has been this way for 4 months now so have you made her an appointment??

have you taken your dog to the vets yet?

Please don't be afraid to, the vet cannot put her to sleep without your permission. Vets are there to help, so if he says he thinks she should be put to sleep (killed by injection) and you don't want him to, then he will at least give her some pain killers or other tablest to make her happier.

Imagine if it is somethign really simple that can be easily cured and she could be up and running about again instead of like this. Dogs hate being unable to move (any animal does) as in the wild it would mean they would be killed by another animal.

Please get her some help.
