Remolacha

I am so sorry, but as others have said, this is much harder on you than Hanna, she will adjust just fine.

another vote for acupuncture, it can really help.

no, it isn't fair! I am sorry

Glad to hear he is doing so well! It is amazing how resilient these guys are.

I am so sorry

Sugar has gone back to eating pretty well, after a few months of tear-your-hair-out please-eat-SOMETHING! During that time, she would always drink some Ensure, but only liked the regular Vanilla. Didn't like any of the "plus" varieties.

no, it never is long enough

Posts in Remembrance always make me sad, but yours brought me to tears. A beautiful tribute to a special girl.

When Sugar was being picky, one thing she never turned down was vanilla Ensure. I shuddered when I read the ingredients, but it gave her some calories and something in her stomach. Usually, she would take the Ensure and either a turkey neck, or some cat kibble (she is raw fed, so kibble is a "treat" ). Not a good diet long term, but it got her through the rough patches.

I thought it sounded interesting after reading an article in WDJ, but I wonder how you keep it from getting all over everything unless you bandage.

I am glad Monty is feeling ok, that peroxide is nasty stuff! I have a soft spot for Monty, he reminds me of my Fletcher, poster boys for the short bus tribe

Fletcher had a nasty case (I think he got it from eating feral cat poop ) Flagyl knocked it back temporarily, but Panacur got it for good! None of the rest of us (cats, dog, human) got it, but none of the rest of us are poop eaters

arthritis. I don't know if they are more prone to it than other old dogs, but it seems quite common. They may not show symptoms at first, other than slowing down, hesitating when getting up and down, stuff like that. If you haven't already started him on a glucosamine supplement, it would probably be good for him, and wouldn't hurt , even if he doesn't have arthritis.

Darcy

I am just seeing this, I am so sorry! You know Jane best, what ever you decide will be the right thing.

Sugar lays down for hers. They provide a blanket, but I bring an extra quilted meet & greet mat for her old bones The vet said she's had a few dogs who prefer to stand, but most lie down, she leaves it up to the dog. The first time, Sugar got a little restless towards the end, now she justs lays there, about half asleep. The vet says she has done cats, rabbits and ferrets as well can't imagine any of them just lying there!

I looove to see pictures of Darcy "blowing in the wind"

He looks great! Looks like he is going to be one of the success stories

what a cute little face!
