My yellow Lab, Patton has been sick for the past week, He was acting like his hip was hurting and not eating. He will be ten years old on Christmas Eve. I was afraid that he might have hip displacement. I had a dog several years ago that had it and he had to be put to sleep because he was in so much pain. I knew that I would not be able to make that decision this time. Patton is the best hunting dog and pet we have ever had. Carried him to the vet last Thursday and the vet said that his joints were inflamed and that he was carrying a fever. He said that he thought he had some type of tick born disease. He was put on two different types of meds and feel much better now. The vet and I looked him over for ticks and only found one on top of his head. The tick was very small but it made by buddy very sick. Check your dogs it has not been fun watching my buddy feel so bad
