Update on Murphy

[Kimberlie]

43lbs is smaller than Duke or Nyala. Yes, yours sure does have a very wide chest. I can’t see him eating less than what he’s eating now. Won’t make any sense for sure. Just make sure he gets exercises. Mind you if he has a hip issue or ligament you’ll need to be careful even on the exercises. Good long walks won’t harm him comparing to jumping n fast stops for a ball etc. till you don’t know what’s wrong he still needs to move.

He loves walks but once he starts panting we rest and it’s starting to get wayyyy to hot here. So early mornings for us are great!

Yea if we play like the past two weeks we get down to his level and make sure he’s not doing zoomies or anything. We have also been helping him up into his bed at night and off in the morning etc he seems to be doing much better right now because of the pain meds. Our next search is for fish oil. She didn’t want us to coconut( which I have done in the past and it worked great) it was the calorie intake of it. But his back is just a little flaky. Probly from the weather. So we’re going to look into fish oil pills this weekend

Sending prayers and hoping is is nothing serious.

How old is he? As for weight, I always go by the waistline... you want a nice V shape to it.

Post a picture from above as Helene said.. that will help us

Make sure you put the fish oil caps in the fridge....a lot of ppl don’t know this but if expose to heat n oxygen they are useless....here’s a great link that explains pros n cons.
