| loose bones? This is going to sound crazy but I want to know if any of you have experienced anything like this and what I should do. Preston is acting fine...but when I pick him up, his bones are loose and "cracky" sounding.Really cracky sounding. I've been trying to not let him jump down from the bed on his own and I'm really careful when I pick him up, but it's freaking me out. His backbone feels a little higher than usual around the middle. He is 8.5yrs old. Since he's not acting odd I'm trying not to get too worked up about it, but I don't want him to move wrong one day and be messed up forever. Any suggestions?Arthritis maybe or take him to a doggie chiropractor? Similar experiences? Thanks |

| I'd recommend a glucosemine and condroiten supplement. and a vet check asap.

| thank you very much. I was wondering about the glucosemine. I've not heard of the other one. Now at least I can go into the vet with a little bit of a clue. thanks again jane and preston |

| If you dog is doing fine - I really wouldn't worry too much about it - but would mention it to the vet the next time I visit --- and, of course, take him in sooner, if he seems to be having any problems in the future. Carol Jean |
