Guest bigorangedog Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Wondering how the sweetie is doing today... I'll know in 45 minutes I left him 2 bowls of food this morning. He was eating the chicken when I walked out the door. He ate a lot yesterday, not sure if I posted that or not. I need to run to Costco and get those dehydrated duck treats. I have a few of the chicken left but I know he loves the duck too. They have some salmon treats right now that my guys are crazy for. They are softer than the dehydrated ones, so even my toothless boys can eat them. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smiley Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dr. Couto is such an angel, but at the same time, it truly stinks to get confirmation from the experts that it is indeed cancer. I'm so sorry. Sending you and Sparks many good thoughts and hugs. If you would like to send me a PM, I'm happy to talk to you about our experiences or just listen when you need to vent. Many hugs. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 He was restless again last night but not as bad as the previous few nights. I'm going to make sure to give melatonin and composure tonight to see if that helps him sleep. He's also getting 3 diff pain meds at night so I would think he'd be feeling ok.

Wonder Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm wondering if he has SA going on. He pees/poops at least 4-5 times when I am not home. When I am home, he does not ask to go outside but goes out when I first get home, maybe once a few hours later and again right before bed. I feel bad leaving him home but I have to work Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.

You CAN bring him over here anytime, but I know it's hard to get him into the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyTzu Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 You are doing everything correct Kari. :grouphug My guess is the meds. are probably making him a bit anxious.

GreytHurleyDawg Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I am on facebook more than greytalk, so I had to come here and check up on you and Sparks. I know you are having a rough time and I hope you can get a little extra time off from work here and there. He is worth all the hard work you are doing...crockpots, peeing, sleeping arrangements and all! You will have wonderful memories of his life. Take the time you need....grieving is such a long process. Hugs and kisses to you and Sparks (and your other hounds too)!

Wonder Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thank you! I made chicken in the crock pot for him last night. He loved it. I'll make roast for him tonight. He still has big d-I suspect from eating all the meat and treats. I don't care about that if it's not making him uncomfortable. Kari and the pups.Run free sweet Hana 9/21/08-9/12/10.
