injured? something else? worried.

[Briggs]

briggs is an 8.5 old standard golden doodle who up to today was really healthy and playful. he wouldnt get up and had a hard time standing. wouldnt eat. finally got him outside to pee and poo. but really not himself. took him to emergency vet and he couldnt go up stairs but seemed to be walking slow but alright. examined him and didnt feel anything broken. the vet said it could be he just pulled something or hip dysplasia or some other bone growth disease. we decided to treat with pain meds and see how he does and then go to our regular vet if he doesnt get better for xrays etc. anyone have experience? thoughts? he hasnt eaten all day and just been lying down. finally got him to eat some chicken and bacon drippings and rice. really worried.

Thank you for update. I am glad he seems so improved.

I hope that is the end of his problem, sweet little guy. So young not to feel well and such a worry for you.
