I don't know if you've made any progress on the acupuncture issue, but I'd pursue that, and I'd also see about a chiropractor in your area that might treat Fella. His front end may be weak and painful from being out of alignment... which would be caused by such things as his constantly having to favor his bad rear paw, or by any falls he's taken. Acupuncture could also help with the side effects of the treatment, and that would be a helpful thing, I'm sure.
We live in an area that has just caught up to the 70's. By the time we have access to a dog chiropractor or someone close that does acupuncture your grandchildren will be buying tickets for a weekend trip to the moon and back. The closest doctor that I can find that does acupunture is 170 miles away in Stone Mountain, Georgia. She wants him to come once a week for treatment and possibly twice a week in the beginning. Right now that is not a possibility and Columbia, SC is only 90 miles away but no one there will see him until mid June. So we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
We got the brace for his rear leg today and have seen a big difference. The harness we bought to help him walk and align his shoulder, he refuses to get up with it on. He just lays there and looks at me as if to say,"If you think I am going to walk around with this thing on you have another thought coming."
