Meet Bear:  Bear is a gentle giant who is most likely suffering from hip dysplasia.  He needs follow up vet care and a workup with rads and patient group that can work with pain medication response.

RE-EXAM (7/17/15): QAR, Large dog – unwilling to rise, No fractures, painful in hindend most likely d/t hip dysplasia,

A: Large dog -does not rise – Hip dysplasia most likely cause of pain

P: Pain meds Rimadyl and tramadol

NH placement – large dog – won’t rise at this time most likely d/t hip dysplasia. Needs workup with rads and patient group that can work with pain medication response and caring to U?D and cleaning and hand feeding

BEHAVIOR:  Bear hasn’t had his Behavior Evaluation yet but his Medical Behavior is Green.  He is very limited in his mobility due to the probable hip dysplasia.  He was very easy to handle upon intake.
