Unhappy Please send good vibes for Zeus

I found out on Friday that Zeus has arthritis at the tailbone area, (the dr. was suprised because of his age). Well since then he has continued to get worse, I have to put his leash and collar on to help pull him up. Today I took him back to the vet and we are going to treat him for a possible infection that gets into the spine, the Dr. says it causes great pain. If this doesn't work, his says we could try Pregnazone(sp) but I know it has some side effects. So now it's just a waiting game I guess. Please send goods vibes, it just tears at me to see him in such pain.
Shaun

This morning Zeus seems a little better. He seemed to recover pretty quick when I got him up. The vet said if it is the infection in the spine I should see improvement by Wednesday. Right now he's actually playing with Roxy.

Get better soon buddy!! - from Diego

Shaun, we'll keep Zeus in our prayers and please, keep us posted! Has an infection been confirmed, or educated guess? What are his other symptons - curious to know if he may have the same issue Diego's been dealing with, esp. since they have almost identical builds. It's possible alternative treatment can help... ~ Lisa

Sending positive vibes to Zeus for continued improvement. Have you tried giving Zeus some cheese? Nothing like the power of cheese to cheer a boxer up!
