Poor Baily! I have just read through all this (so I don't repeat). I had a lot of trouble getting my Sugar to eat last fall when she was having spinal issues. She would usually drink a vanilla Ensure. Not the best nutrition, but it got some liquids and some calories in her. The acupuncture will take some time (at least a few treatments) to show results, but it should help the pain, and it helped Sugar's appetite as well. I know how your back feels, I did my share of carrying her up and down the steps I hope she starts to feel better!

so glad that Pearl made it through her dental with no problems!

I am so sorry, you all fought so hard

sometimes they don't know they are "seniors"

poor princess!

Teri, I am so sorry

I am so sorry

I hope it's nothing!

I am so sorry

I'd keep an eye on her, but if she wants to walk and doesn't seem to be in pain, let her walk Just watch her pretty carefully, if they love their walks, the signs may be subtle. I didn't cut back on Sugar's walks until I noticed her hesitating/slowing down about half way through the walk. Now, I let her say if she wants to walk or not, and we only go a few houses down the street, but when she wants to, we still walk!

:yay

I am so sorry!

I am so sorry!

I also had a "yard cat", Bud, that wouldn't come in the house. You do the best you can for them

I am so sorry

I am so sorry!

what a handsome boy! I am so sorry

someone on GT explained this very well a while back, and of course, I don't remember who Anyway, my paraphrasing: as the food moves through the digestive system, a lot of the liquid is absorbed in the large intestine. So, when the dog goes the first time, he's producing what's been through the system and is "ready". If he goes again (and Fletcher poops at least twice on every walk), it's going to be softer because it (the poop) hasn't been in the intestine as long, and all the liquid hasn't been absorbed. So, each poop, assuming the first was normal, will be softer. I know I have put this very unscientifically, but it made sense to me

Sugar is on .4 twice a day, has been at that dose for about a year and a half. Oddly, she has plenty of fur on her tummy, neck, butt, everywhere. Fletcher, whose thyroid is fine, has very little hair "underneath"
