GERMAN SHEPHERD PUPPY SUFFERING. Needs help!

[bunge]

Our 2 1/2 month old German Shepherd got an accident and suffering now from a dislocated hip joint. Our vet told us that there's nothing they can do about this since they can't bring back the joint to the socket anymore because of the fact "na nagkalaman na daw ang socket". Our fault was that we didn't bring the pup to the vet at once because we didn't think that it was a dislocation, we waited for almost a week. We are in so much stress right now, especially our Dad and most especially the pup because he always need a pain killer in order to relax. Does anyone here knows an Animal Surgeon? Or should I say that we really can't do anything about this problem? I'll be posting the X-ray films later.

otho surgeons for canines next to impossible to find locally

IF you do find one recovery phase will be hard for you and dog- do you have the time, resources and what it takes to see this through

quality of life of dog is slowly deteriorating

consider "putting him to sleep" as an option

its part of responsible dog ownership

Don't prolong the suffering. I'll shoot my pet if I have to.

ask your vet to end your pet's suffering.

Di ko po alam kung paano iisipin ang mga sinabi nyo. Sa totoo lang, tama kayo. Pero syempre sa kasalukuyan ay naghahanap pa rin kami ng maaaring lunas para sa aming tuta. Nagparinig na nga ang Mommy na patulugin na nga namin, kaso po ng marinig ng Daddy ay talaga nga pong halos magwala sa galit, dahil umaasa pa rin sya na maaaring may lunas pa dito, at wala daw kaming karapatan na lagutan ng hininga kahit aso lang. Ang pag-aalaga po namin dito sa mga aso namin ay parang kapamilya din at syempre gagawin po namin ang lahat ng magagawa naming upang madugtungan pa rin ang buhay niya kahit na nga habangbuhay syang maging pilay. Kung sa tinuran nyo na wala ngang posibleng orthophedic surgeon ng mga aso dito sa atin, maluwag naming tatanggapin ang kapalaran nya.

Well, you can consider some kind of operation, even if the dog may be 1 leg short at least theres a good chance of a long life, just like some of the animals we see on animal planet sometimes...

I'm hoping for the best...

Thanks. You're giving us hope.

Suggesting to put our dog to sleep is like saying that we end up the life of a suffering brother or sister. Our dog is not just a pet, he's a member of the family.
