Coopers not feeling well

We took our 'puppy' to the vet over the weekend. He has been feeling very sad lately and is not himeself. He's also had trouble getting up the stairs and other places of comfort that he rests on.


The vet took some blood, and the results of everything are normal, except his thyroid is somewhat low. She saw the difficulty in his back left hip... kind of like a hip joint pain.... we have come to the conclusion that although he gets a walk in one, two sometimes three times a day... so much winter in activity, that when he played with one of his friends, he over did himself! So, the vet recommended a Glucosamine chondroitin complex.... to help rebuild cartilage and lubricate joints. Here's a picture of him, we just gave him some TLC!! Today on the walk he was shivering... what do you expect,it was 13 degrees!!!
