I sort of 'inherited" a senior chihuahua, Sam, who was having a terrible time with his back legs, both of which have LP to different degrees, the left worse than the right. He also has arthritis. Anti-inflammation prescription daily has improved his movement HUGELY and he has quite holding his left hind leg off the ground. I massage him a little, as well. I was wondering about getting him swimming? He does swim, but does it to get the heck OUT of the pool! Still, I was thinking that, if I could get him to swim a bit in a bathtub full of warm water, it would go even farther in strengthening those muscles.
He's kind of a long story, but I rescued him from the family he'd been dumped on by a crazy MIL and was being terrorized by a larger-than-him puppy. He also got yelled at a lot. He is a sweet, sweet little guy and had been a delightful addition to my little pack, so I just wish I had gotten him out of there sooner.
