This guy is rare. He was brave enough to go against the system to expand healthcare for dogs.

Wish there was more like you in this world. Most doctors just rip people off their money.

People dismiss a dogs unsteady legs for old age but sometimes it's just sore paws. When a dog has sore paws he wont want you to touch them so you have to be creative. The way I cut my dog's nails is I place a bowl with a little milk (can mix it with some water) in it in front of him, he has to be lying down when drinking. Then I cut one nail. It takes time. You have to repeat the process. Sometimes I only cut four nails a day. It's made a huge difference in his life. He walks with more vigour, he sits and gets up way faster and easily.

Lewis is the most relaxed 😎 dog ever!! He’s doing so good during his exam.

That's brilliant. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You're a good person.

I love your videos, recently discovered your channel and it helps me a lot to prepare my Animals Naturopath final exams. We need more teachers, vets and natutopaths like you ❤ Thanks!

I love this channel. Thank you so much for all your advice.

Lewis is such a great dog!! Thank you for the video and the channel!!!!

Dr Andrew is heaven sent. Thank you for showing us

doctor, you really deserve a compliment! i can feel your heart in your work and that is the essence... much love and respect to you and your family, you helped me and my staffordshire bullterrier a lot! my dog has acl problems and we are waiting for braces to arrive and we will try it :)

Thank you so much for this comprehensive video!! I was overwhelmed with information online but your video has it all in one place. I love the way you explain things. I am in my third month of no coffee and going strong!

This was perfect. We just adopted a senior dog a few days ago and she has been in a lot of discomfort, getting up and down. It’s a struggle, but I also see the very audible clicking. We have occasional crankiness at our other dog who usually minds their business. The struggle to get up. This gives me good intel and points to share with our vet this upcoming week. To hopefully medication as needed to give her some relief.

Thanks for the great video,I’m going through the same thing with my fur baby. Your video was so helpful. Lewis is a beautiful patient and would love to have him. He’s such a sweetheart. Thanks again.

You are such a special gift to the pet owner/lover world ❤

Thanks, Doc! That was fantastic! So glad we found you!

You are an amazing person and doing an incredible thing! Your very helpful, informed and straightforward. I appreciate the time you take to do these videos!

Wow, I just learn so much from you - great and invaluable information. Thank you so much for sharing 😁

My dog got injured yesterday, this video is super helpful thank you

Thank you so much for this video. I've just been looking for more information about degenerative myelopathy after my dog was diagnosed with it and came across you. My dog hates going to the vet, and with coronavirus I wasn't able to go in the room with him, so wasn't sure how much/how well they were able examine him. They said he had been difficult to handle, but it seemed that the pain was in his back. After going through your video, it seems the pain is definitely not in the back, but in the hip. Might film my dog's reactions to take with me to a future appointment so they can get a better idea of how to help us. Fantastic video, and very well explained.

Louis ♥ One in a million. Thank you SO much. I also have a "Louis" . He is 10 and never seems to be in pain but his feet drag. He still loves to walk & often looks confused when his rear doesn't respond. I had no idea what was going on but now I do. Bless your heart, Sir. We didn't go to the vet because of Covid. I can't tell you how much you have helped.

This has been the exact information I needed for my German shepherd thank you ..

Brilliant channel, so helpful.

I'm so glad that I can text as much as I want in this comment section, Louis is such a good boy he knows he's helping you help others, I can read dogs very well and he is just letting you do the norm. He's used to this from you and plays along every time. RIP Lewis 💙. Thank you Luis for all you have done for us, you're such a good boy letting Daddy teach us how to take care of our fur babies. Thank you Andrew Jones for helping all of us help our pets. I'm sure you know how dachshunds front legs are and how it's hard for them to spread apart from the chest. That's the way my dachshund Chloe is and when I told the that's assistant that her front legs don't spread apart and be very careful when removing her tumor in her armpit. She told me when dogs are under they tend to be more relaxed and able to spread apart. As a pet owner I'm very aware of my dog in every way since I'm home everyday and she is my caregiver❤ I noticed her limping but I can't remember if it was right after surgery or a week or so later. If they accidentally put her arm apart more than it should go what muscle would they have torn or possibly hurt? I am not accusing I am just trying to figure out why after removing the tumor she now has this limp. When she walks her head Bobs up and down as she is not wanting to put too much pressure but yet she is walking on her left front leg. What's really strange is she prefers to run. I have noticed she will wait for me to get 12 feet in front of her when I ask her if she's ready to eat and then she runs into the kitchen. Now I know she has addictions like a cat does with a string. She has to chase the dogs along the fence when I'm outside no matter how hard I try to train her not to. She also still chases squirrels (God bless her) dachshunds love to Chase. I think I've wrote enough for now even though I have so much to ask. So reminder the question I have for you today is if her front legs were spread apart more than they should what muscle could possibly be injured? Should I be keeping her in the laundry room restricted of normal activities to help this healing process? Of course letting her out for potty breaks. Thank you for everything you do.😊👍💜 oh yeah one more thing, I'm able to pull her whole arm backwards towards her rear as she's lying down and if I were to try to stretch the arm forward towards her head she pulls back

We adopted a senior 🐶 plott hound 11. She was the best match for my senior golden this past November. This video really helped me identify what was wrong with her. I knew it was more than hip displaecia, because of how upset she would get about a few areas in her back. She was crated at the shelter around 7 years; which had health impacts but she is just as spunky as can be. Joint support has helped tremendously. Our vet gave her anti-inflammatory Rx, but we only use it very sparingly because I don’t want it to impact her internal health (liver and kidneys) which is good. We also gated the stairs, so she doesn’t climb them more than to go to bed. We lift her also as needed. I am looking forward to watching some of your other natural remedies videos. Quality of life is of paramount importance and you definitely have some 👍 tips.

Thank you so much for all your videos,God Bless you and your Family! All your remedies that I try on my dogs,work great!

Thank you, doctor. That gives much better understanding about what the problem is. Subscribed!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much! I hate seeing my baby girl in any discomfort.

What a good helper 😊

Wagnificent dogscription on how to examine & understand your furlegger's condition. Thank you again Dr. Jones. 🐾💜🐾

Thank you for all you do here very helpful

Great video! Thank you

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!!!! Video was awesome and beyond helpful. Late to follow but forever fan!

I love how calm this dog is lol

My GSD is 14 and has arthritis on his right hip. This video was very informative.

Thanks for the video

Been watching your videos since my boy was a wee lad, he's now a senior and for the first time I have found him struggling to stand or walk at some points. He has stopped jumping up on to surfaces he used to leap at no problem, and drags his back legs (and gets tired more) on walks... Tonight I had to literally slide him downstairs on his bed so I could get him on the same floor as to door out to potty, not knowing what was wrong, in a panic... Thank you for your videos on how to help him, first place I went to for advice when I realized the signs were adding up to arthritis, hip dysplasia or some such. With these tips, I can better source what COULD be wrong and help ease his discomfort, while we wait for the appointment with the vet to do an exam. Gods all bless you, so glad I subbed to you all those years ago now! My boy Bran (like the muffins and Game of Thrones character... should have thought that name through better) and I both thank you.

Another great video! So helpful for us to be able to know how to help our fur babies! Smiling over the coffee thing the headaches in the beginning are the worst! I've found a product called Choffy that gives you energy without the ups and downs of coffee and nope I don't work for them!😉 Thanks for your videos!

Thank you 🙏

You sure help me a lot can't thank you enough you I love watching your video thank you so much

This is extremely helpful. Thank you. We are also taking your advice about natural pain relief.

You are an amazing human. I can see the big beautiful heart you have thats full of pain…. animals are my weakness too xo

Thanks for this video.very helpful and clear

Thank you

Thank you for the taking the time to differentiate the three problems. My GS woke up one morning a few days ago and was not able to move both hind legs , she is happy and is eating and is able to sit up , I use a sling to walk her. This is the most heart breaking thing to see. I did order 95% Curcumin which has flaxseed salmon oil and a few other things you mentioned would help. All I can say I hope and pray a cure is found for these innocent creatures. I noticed that this condition worsened when I gave her carprofen., which I have now stopped

God bless you, doctor! after watching this video I feel like better to work on my dog, I wish you were in Rhode Island

Thank you thank you....

Thank you 😊

Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you for this, Lewis looks just like my boy Blackjack, and he’s 11 now.. he’s been dragging his back leg, and limping a lot, it’s gotten progressively worse within the past couple weeks.. massage seems to be helping quite a bit! 💖

Lewis is in a whole other category unto itself ~ there is no way you can't fall in love with this dog! What a doll! This video was very helpful in trying to understand and evaluate symptoms in our dogs. Do you have a chart showing accupressure points on dogs?

How do i get a vet like you in UK lol

I’d love to see how to handle the front legs- ats what my basenji has issues with n being treated.

Thank you Doc. My dog is having hind leg problem. It’s so sad seeing her slowly not able to walk. We took her to the Doctor and they did MRI on her.

OMG THANK GOD FOR YOU SIR. My dog was just diagnosed with spinal stenosis. The veterinarian put him on a steroid, muscle relaxer, pain med, and antacid. She said it would help with the healing. She said hopefully he doesn't need surgery. Thank You!!!

If only Lewis would relax more! He is lovely.

Thank you for the informative videos, truly exceptional. My 11yr old dog floats his hind leg, visibly limps and has trouble with stairs (even one). Vet said it was arthritis of the spine, hips were good (xrayed). Gave us pain killers and told us to come back every 6mths for bloodwork. Does this diagnosis sound accurate as he is getting progressively worse? I am going to try some of your more natural remedies but am thinking it may be degenerative myelopathy.

Thank you for sharing this video .How long time (duration of massage therapy ) for daily massage ?

Would you please explain how to treat east test you showed on this video thank you and God Bless you

Thank you so much.

I really love your videos. I've been watching Bondi vet too and I just think it helped out my dog a little even though we have booked our dog into a hydrotherapy swim for tomorrow. its her first time. I really scared of her when she's gona be in the water.

Thanks a lot!

I'm literally in tears right now because I thought my dog has degenerative myelopathy, unfortunately at the moment I am so financially strapped that I no way I could take my dog to the vet but knowing that she is not dying from a degenerative disease with your freely given information that she does have something that is more than likely treatable is a huge relief

Thank you x

Thanks! That’s how my dog is walking😢 it would be helpful to see more examples of the dog walking and how they walk depending on what the issue is… I’m k no it sure yet what her problem is but she doesn’t seem in pain so I’m just researching here a little first

I love my coffee as well, Dr. J. ... Thank you for all you do in helping us 'pet parents'.~ Link's Mommy

great video! Thank you. Can you do a video on how to use an electro stimulator (tens) and all the do's and dont's for a dog? That would really be helpful too.

Thanks for walking through these examinations. my vet's exam left a lot to be desired - no physical exam, just xrays which showed no spine or hip problems. So still trying to figure out the cause of limping and odd holding up of rear if running, some rear paw drag after 40min walk, not fully weight-bearing on left hind leg.

Great vid thank you

Thank you for all the info Doc. My 12 year old Aussi is kicking his right back leg while standing, I don't know what that could be, he was just diagnosed with CHF and takes lots of med. If you could explain what is going on I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Thanks for the video. My 10 year old chihuahua has become growly at me within the past month particularly when I touch his right side. I notice he tends to bite his right hind leg. His walking is normal but I don't want to try to move his leg because I don't want to get bit. I can't get into to see the vet for another 3 weeks. Wonder if you had a video or can do a video on what you recommend for supplements.

My dog has weakness in her back left leg to the point of flopping her left rear down and scooting on her rear to get up. She is also walking with a curved spine. She has had knee issues in that left leg for a long time.Not sure what this is-will be taking her to the vet.

(HUG) You are the best Dr. love Louis he is so gentle. We love our pets so much, what natural healthy thing can you give to them when they have pain I have a (100lb lab 7 years old). My Lab walks fine, then, sometimes when we can't walk him for a while because of weather, he has a slow time getting up or walking upstairs, or his back legs seem weak then.

Thanks doc, Our 14 yr old bubba has continuing hip dysplasia and i try to help him to get down or up in a car by carrying him. We have him on powdered joint care and natural pain meds. He yelps sometimes and when i tried to pet him this morning tried to bite me out of a deep sleep. I barely touched his shoulder. He's able to walk, and still enjoys walking in the dog park in our complex. Could the areas that he doesn't want to be touched nerve damage, cancer? Your advice for castor oil when he swolled a plastic bag, saved us from putting him down. We went to 2 vets, they wanted to operate, $$$$. Last vet was Tennessee college for vet care. Sad what vets are all about today $$$$ not animal care

WOW AESOME VID MAN

ha ha, the coffee deprivation + angry metal music so fits. IDK, go with decaffeinated coffee?

Thank you for this Dr! Would you say when testing the "knuckling" test anything under 5 seconds is ok of putting it back upright?

Great video with clear explications, and nice patient dog btw, who got the idea of making a video :-). What hollisitic remedies are there for DM? I m putting all emphasis on good food (80% meat and bones) and activity, swimming in particular. Do you consider this important or wishful thinking?

My dog is a crossbreed staffy and bull mastiff and he is starting to get arthritis, and it is only pain in the morning and at night when he has been lying down for a while hopefully dad takes him to the vet soon

Last night, My Jadah Crusada got off the couch and started limping...I'm so nervous to find out what is wrong with my baby, tomorrow I will take her in...I hope it is not too serious... I jus love her so much😞

Gee Lewis really loves you

I have a 4 year old border springer and she is limping on her right back leg and when we go out for walks and when she comes back in as a rest and then she gets up out of her bed she is limping and she holding it up please can you tell me what you think it is she has been doing it for a couple of months now she is on some tablets I got from my vets they are lintbells yumove for the joints but they do not seem to be working

Hi! I'm knew to your channel and so excited to find you!! My babies are a Male & female shih tzu (8yrs old). My Male first developed a really bad almost fishy smell in his mouth which I had made a vet appt for cause I was really worried. However, now somehow it's gotten so much better and almost back to doggy breath so I'm thinking maybe he had food stuck in his gums somewhere I could reach abd the dental stkcks helped it out(?). But if you could gift tips.on what those harsh stinky breaths, would be great. Nevertheless, my main concern now is in grooming Milo(male), I found a soft growth (just looks puffy and some redness & even a little darker brown stain over) on his right knee. It looks like when a person bumps pretty hard against something and has a bruised lump. I haven't noticed him in any pain, but notoces it got a bit larger than when I groomed 2wks ago and when I did tried the massages you recommended, he wouldn't let me extend that leg almost at all. Omg I am so worried... if that's cancer or advanced arthritis I overlooked and my baby is in pain!😢 😭 I am of course taking him to vet for xrays (waitingcuz they were booked!). So if you read this and can give me any idea of why this can possibly be, I'd appreciate. Thank you!

Thank you for the video! Suggestion: eternal dilemma: dry food or home cooked ( human) food for dogs, namely small breeds ( I have chihuahua and my pet was diagnosed with immune mediated polyarthritis) . Thank you in advance 🙏

Coffee/tea are great for health. Coffee/tea may the brain/body if organic etc.. Great help! Thank you!

what can I do to reverse it

As I watch ur vid..im watching my great pyarnese in bad pain...I followed what u said..and I feel say may have arthritis Shes 11...she can't stand to pee or poo :( Shes going to the hospital in a few hours... With ur vid..I can talk to the vet like I know what im sayin..thus not b taken advantage of... U seriously are somthinv my friend...we all.know people pay u for this info...thx so much man

Hi Dr Jones! Thanks so much for your video! My dog is starting to have some problems with her legs too. She's 12, and she's starting to put her legs behind than usual when she's standing, starting to scuff her paws on the floor, to letting her legs fall when someone's interacting close to her. Do you think it can be some of these diseases? Anyway, I'm calling the veterinarian tomorrow for a more decisive diagnose, but I would like to have some ideas. It's hard to know if she's in pain. Thank you!

Thank you doctor. This year my dog was diagnosed with Cushings. And around the same time showed muscle atrophy in his back legs. He quickly lost ability to get up on his own. I have to pick his hind end up and be sure his feet are flat. It's very stressful for both he and I. Now he is refusing to eat about 90% of the time. It's heart breaking. He isn't showing signed of pain, but I'm not sure really what signs I should look for. If you haven't done a program on signs of pain, it would be a good one to do. Many thanks.

Kindly speak on leishmaniasis in dogs

Thank you for this video. What about nerve twitching (fasciculation) in all 4 limbs and muscle atrophe along with going paralyzed in the back legs and then slowly going paralyzed in the front too? My dog had this happen but made a seemingly full recovery with a round of Prednisone with no issues for 7 months with no medication, then it suddenly started again with the back legs and now moving to his front legs again. He has responsiveness but no strength or control left. Any advise or opinion would greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My dogs paw started folding under her and she placed it back the way it was supposed to go she is in a lot of pain now the vet prescrib e the tramadol but I think I'm going to try to get her something else that'll work better for her thanks for sharing this video 👍

Thank you for this. I did have my greyhound examined and they did a few of these tests. Not the reflex one, I’ll try it. Knuckling he is slow but will place his foot. I’ll also try pinching his toes. I do believe he had lunbosacral stenosis and I am thinking he should have a steroid injection in his spine (epidural). Would you agree? I don’t know how else to help him. He doesn’t seem to be in pain but is wobbly, does drag one of his toes sometimes, kinda stumbles his back feet. He also hangs his head way down when he stands and kind of draws one of his back feet in. I give him turmeric, coconut oil, fish oil, (calcium, vit c & B complex, sodium bicarbonate for kidneys) everyday. Along with coenzyme Q10 and a natural kidney supplement.

Wow you did more in this video than my vet did with my dog and I paid her 100. It’s heartbreaking for me. My dog seems to look like he’s loosing his muscles or something in his back legs. He goes on walks ok but can’t seem to climb anymore like lift himself to my car window so he can stick his head out which is his favorite thing to do. The doc has him on prednisone and pain meds. I’m not sure what to do. He seems to lost his appetite . Any advice ? Thank you

Thank you for making this and all of your videos! They're wonderful and have helped me keep my fur babies healthy and cared for. My 7 year old German shepherd, Havoc, just began dragging his rear, left foot the other day. He first began limping and walking / running slower last September prior to the now dragging foot. I immediately took him to the vet for an examination and they did one x-ray, but he suggested I get him a costly MRI to diagnose & confirm what exactly is going on. I have been monitoring him and giving him flax seed oil, gaba pentin & some tramadol when he is showing signs of pain until i can get a better diagnosis. I don't think it is neurological (due to tapping his knee), so does that rule out degenerative myelopathy ?

thanks for the video my dog just start crying idk what she have ,you should try atomy arabic coffe ,its organic low caffeine and vegetable sugar also has a bunch of benefits, i will apply some of you advise abd you video ,i feel horrible seing my dog screeming of pain

Hi ..what is the best to do if your dog has TVT...is there any way aside of chemotherapy and surgery.?i Those are expensive..is there any other way to decreasing TVT? Hope for your great reply..Thank you very much

Thank you for your channel. Pain in animals, I had a dog that developed arthritis early on in her life, I gave her Arnica, it was so amazing, the vet wanted to put her on steroids, which I did not like the sound of. But the Arnica worked fantasticly, she had to have it for the rest of her life, but it gave her quality of life.

This is an old video but the trick with coffee is not to rely on it in the morning. If your goal is no more than one or two cups a day, then don't drink it until by the time your first or second dose expires, you can crash comfortably at home. When you start drinking it in the morning to wake up, you're in trouble for the rest of the day because the crash isn't worth the minimal jump start.

Thank you for your videos. My dog is a pit or pit mix, she’s a rescue so it’s unknown... I’ve had her since she was about 1... she’s coming up on 12 and this rear leg issue just started out of the blue. It seems like it’s hard for her to get up the past few days (I lifted her), and going up stairs is sometimes too difficult. She has just been laying down and doing nothing. Not really drinking or eating - except for treats. I’m not sure what to do. I’m headed to get some Aleve and hopefully that helps her. It’s breaking my heart though. I don’t know what to do.
