[Dailydrool] help with my dog Lucky

[Helena poist]

Lucky was rescued and adopted from the old MABR in Kansas many years ago. He is a traditional tri color and kept the same weight for all these years. He had bone spurs on his back so they gave him rimdyl and it worked wonders.
Now the last three days, he is a different dog. He cant get on the furniture, he has trouble getting up when he lays down. he aimlessly walks around and doesnt seem to know where he is. He cant go up and down steps.. well he can get up the steps but not down. he isnt eating his favorite foods but he is still nibbling some.
The vet gave me a new drug for neutological distress startng with a "G" (a people drug) thinking he has a tumor or mass on his spine or neck. They feel he is too old for surgery... Anyone else go through this, have any thoughts, comments, things to look for, options..
 
thanks for any help.. helenapoist at yahoo.com
