I thought since it had antibiotics it would help him. I stopped feeding him that as soon as I read this, which was two days ago.
Thanks.

I have been putting antibiotic cream on his legs and slowly it's helping him.

Thanks...I was going to take him to the vet this Thursday that passed, but choose to schedule an appointment on Monday in the late afternoon. Thanks for your help, but I think I could pay the bill off even if going to be a lot. Yeah, my goal right now for him is to get nourish him to his healthy self.

I'm sorry I had take my dogs on their daily walk around the block.
Well, there is good news and bad news.The veterinarian told me that she's ''suspicious that it's gout'' because of imbalance in his diet, which she said is incurable, but can be given medication to stop or slow the disease from progressing. So to make sure I decided to get some blood work done on him. The results are expected to come in 2 days.

Well that is better than not knowing. Let us know if you need some help. Once the results come in let us know. At least it can be handled somewhat.
