Re: Cant Move

You need to help him when it's time to go out to potty. Use a towel or a blanket to wrap around his belly and hold the ends above his back. You can use this to help him get up and support him when walking him outside using enough upward tension just to help take some of the weight off his legs. You might be able to do it alone, but it may take two people, one to lead with a leash and the other to support him with the towel.

Is he drinking water? Have you tried feeding him anything other than his kibble? You may have better luck by cooking up a soft, easy to eat diet, cooked rice and ground beef or chicken (2/3 c. rice to 1/3 c. cooked meat)..and see if he'll eat that.

Is there any way you can get him to the vet sooner than tomorrow?
