A brief update: My old buddy "Jett Black Jack" is hanging in here. I supplemented his diet with Glucosamine and Condroitin, and really limited the length of his walks off leash. We have about an acre where he can safely roam a couple times a day so he doesn't miss the beach romps too much. His weight is stable at about 65# and he doesn't seem to be losing muscle mass as quickly.
The ends is inevitable, I know but he seems happy and content for now.
Thank you all for your posts, concern and suggestions. I will keep you informed. It appears we will see spring together!

Re: What to use??
Well, today was not a good day. My old buddy Jett Black Jack had a massive seizure this morning. He's lost the use of his hind quarters and is very disoriented.
We have an appointment with the vet at 2:20 today. It is unlikely he'll be making the return trip with us.
He welcomed Spring just a few short days ago and I guess that's all that can be expected. Rest easy, old buddy!

Condolances remember the joy and good times.
Good luck

Don't know if anyone already said this but my parents shepard has a limp and they started giving him glucosamine and it helped with his hips and arthritis.

Sorry to hear this. I lost one of my dogs last November. Remember all the good times you had together.Well, today was not a good day. My old buddy Jett Black Jack had a massive seizure this morning. He's lost the use of his hind quarters and is very disoriented.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm gonna beg to differ with the idiot of the week award consensus. I say that if you truly love your dog, you will not allow him to suffer. And why pay a vet 250 bucks to put it down. bullet costs a dollar. Four cents if you use a 22. Don't accuse me of not loving animals, but sometimes economics plays a little factor into it. We had to put down our five year old horse, who we pulled out of the mother, and trained up into a fantastic riding horse. We still didn't take her to any vet. Bullet to the middle of the forehead will drop a horse as easy as a dog

Just my opinion!

Very sorry to hear about your good pal Jack. One of the toughest things that we, as dog owners, can ever do is to take that last ride to the vet. To me, the decision to ease your pal's suffering is the final great act of love you make for a longtime friend.
Drinking rum before 10 a.m. does not mean you are an alcoholic, it means you are a pirate.
