Deeply Rooted
My black lab Maizy is having issues walking. She can't get up the stairs, get up on the bed, or jump for a tennis ball. She is the sweetest dog in the world. She guards my chickens and my garden from predators/pests. The worst thing about this is the fact that she is only four years old. I am aware that labs are known for hip problems- but as early as four years old? She has had many accidents in her life so far- sprained her tail, hit by a four wheeler, hit in the face with a baseball bat, cracked her dewclaw....just to name a few. She slept in bed with me all night and our ragdoll cat kept a close watch on her. She slept for close to 12 hours. I carry her up and down the stairs so she can stay near my boyfriend and I, otherwise she whines and cries at the stairs. She is going into the vet tonight to get checked out. I would really appreciate any prayers you could send our way! I will keep the thread updated on what the diagnosis is.
Hope all goes well at the vet! 
Our pets are like furry children! Big Hugs for all of you...
