    Hi everyone.

    My lab has gone downhill these past 7 days.. he can no longer jump on the sofa or climb stairs. He's off his food & now is yelping in pain when I try to lift him to help him up. Once standing he wags his tail & tries going for a walk which I'm watching him closely for when it's too much. Any suggestions on how I can help him is greatly appreciated. I'm taking him to vets tomorrow & I'm petrified he's not going to be coming home. Thank you

    Hi there,

    Welcome to the forum, I'm sorry you're joining us at such an emotional and scary time for you. How did it go at the vet's today?

    I think a vet check is in order.
