My bud had a brother and sister black lab. The male had hip problems, and had a very hard time running without hurting himself. He got surgery at LSU, and ended up being much faster than the female afterwards

viagra is supposed to help her breathe
We have two poms. Older one has a collapsing trachea. Vet prescribed lomotil to help her breathe. Yeah, a diarrhea treatment drug for breathing issues. Lo and behold, it worked! Now, obviously created another issue, so we have to give her pumpkin with each feeding to keep things moving!

Unfortunately it is very common in labs. People don’t put enough thought in the bloodlines and they continue to reproduce this. With all the advantages in modern medicine we have today this an many other traits should not even be in the bloodline but people continue allow this to happen. If people would respect the breed an get this kind of stuff xrayed the breed wouldn’t have these traits.
Problem here is, it doesn't really start showing up till the dog is around two years old. And yes, this is a backyard breeder problem.

Honestly, it's a beagle and the viagra is supposed to help her breathe. Guess we will try it.
Does she have a form of pulmonary hypertension? They give vasodilators to people with that disease to lower the pressure and ease their breathing. It's not viagra per se, but the active ingredient is the same as viagra.

Yep.
There is a medicine directed at the hypertension, only goes up to 20mg. Above that they just give the Viagra apparently.

Sorry to hear this. Had a chocolate I had to put down due to nerve issues in his back/hips. Worst part of it was that I had to put him down 6 months after I paid 4K at LSU vet school to have an acl surgery. No regrets though, would spend that 4K again in a heart beat. They are truly mans best friend.

My 15 year old German Shepard has it, no cure for it.

I found these helped a lot when I noticed my dog starting to have hip problems. Getting up from a lying down position and going up and down stairs became much easier for her after she started taking these.

Are those available OTC or only by prescription?

<-- She's almost 13 and still moving along. Of course she runs like Tim Conway and her howl is quite raspy. But her tail still thumps loudly whenever I walk into a room and she tries her best to walk around the farm with me.
She's been doing a lot of riding in the front bucket on the trips back.
She gets 4 of those joints chews a day. I'm not saying the help, but three years ago, she could barely walk and she fell over with almost every other step.

Had to put my chocolate lab down last month.
He was 10 years old and he was having problems with his hips for about 6 months. Pain meds helped a lot. One weekend he just wasn't acting right so we took him to the vet. There was fluid around his heart and what they assumed was cancer. Putting him down was one of the hardest things we ever done.

Got mine on Amazon. They aren't cheap though. Might be a cheaper alternative out there.
