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?

[Max's Mama]

No they cant get him sooner we have to do it when me and husband are both home so he can help lift him into the veichle, and he is not nice about it (nubby) hes growling and i know he is hurting)

[Max's Mama]

also yes he is drinking plenty of water although we have to bring it to him, but yes we are giving him other stuff he will eat besides kibble he very picky when it comes to hiis food anyways...
