    Glad Hank found you. I cannot imagine how much pain he’d be on the streets with his health issues.

    • @wearehappydoggo
      @wearehappydoggo  Před 2 měsíci +6

      Yeah I'd hate to think of that. He wouldn't have survived his initial wounds tbh

    Hank is one of my favorite street doggos, I was a wreck when he went to a home that didn't send updates. What a handsome pittie boy. My guess is he's mostly pit, the best kind. He's now officially the LUCKIEST dog on Hope Ave, and couldn't deserve it more. Thank you for being the best furdad ever to exist, Niall.

    @2:30 mins. Hip dysplasia , in Germany we call it German Shepherd disease , most older German Shepherds suffer from this bad side effect of German Shepherd breeding.

    You can clearly see how his one hind leg is delayed. His biggest challenge would be to become immobile. Here's to trusting in the drugs for comfort and pain and him knowing his limitations. We want to see him around for many years to come ❤❤❤

    • @wearehappydoggo
      @wearehappydoggo  Před 2 měsíci +2

    What a cute goofball! My dog that crossed a few years ago also had spine issues, she started like bunny hopping instead of walking her back legs in front of one another, you wouldn’t know she had any injuries… dogs are just wonderful ❤

    • @wearehappydoggo
      @wearehappydoggo  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Yeah Hank is adapting his walk and way he sits etc. But thats what is causing the problems with spasms then in other areas

    • @megorex630
      @megorex630 Před 2 měsíci

      @@wearehappydoggo yep.. it’s kind of like dominos, at least that’s what my vet told me. I do hospice fosters bc the older or sicker dogs all want 3 things. 1. Food/Water 2. Soft Bed and 3. Lots and lots of loving. I just lost my 7yr old pit lab mix Peanut to MAST cell cancer last week (a super aggressive one) and she was very stoic much like Hank, you wouldn’t have known she was battling cancer and was in a lot of discomfort, I wonder if that trait is a pit bull thing.

    The Hip Dysplasia is not only due to age. It can be genetic due to poor breeding. It gets expensive with Vet care but that is one of the things you accept when you have an animal. I've had a couple of dogs with it. Hank is such a gentle giant and so lucky to have found you.

    My Bosnian rescue also has spondylosis. Vets have told me it often doesn't cause pain in itself but the body compensates for the restricted movement and that can cause pain elsewhere. My pup is around 7/8 too and is chaotic on walks as well. He's an eejit like Hank too. Both gorgeous boys. Thanks for all the info Niall. Hoping Hank has a happy life for many years to come.

    Hank is such a loveable goofball. I was definitely say he has Dogue de Bordeaux in him. In terms of his health problems, I'm sure Sybill is on top of it but glucosamine and chondroitin supplements may help slow progress of the spondylosis.

    Hi Niall - hip dysplasia and spondyloarthritis are Noel Fitzpatrick's expertise. He's based in London but it might be a good idea for your vet to call Fitzpatrick Referrals & send any xray pictures so they can discuss?

    Interestingly my son is 18 and he has just undergone scans to rule out ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis. We were told it often develops as a teen/young adult. Perhaps Hank is younger than you think 🤷‍♀️ It’s an awful condition, so difficult to manage. He’s so lucky to have you ❤️
