Backlegs

Yesterday, Troy started bleeding from his nails because he had worn them down to the quick on his back legs as he now drags them quite a lot. So I got him some boots which he wore today for his walk and they worked really well. No more blood.

However, I have to start cutting his walks down even more now. He collapsed into a sit near the swimming pool on the way back, and then again in my front garden. He could hardly walk into the house, though he is ok again now (an hour later).

I will start taking him to the park in the car, so he doesn't have to do the road walk, and then we'll see how it goes.

I am really, really scared... the deterioration of his backlegs is happening too fast for my liking! I am wondering whether we are looking at something like CDRM, it's definitely a nerve deterioration of some sort! I hate seeing him like this.

Here's a little picture to cheer us up I took this week-end.
