wow, weimdawgs, you had a rough time there. i do remember all your losses piling up.

yes, the dogs save us.

merlin is sleeping upside down while some early fireworks are going off. so far so good.

 

we had some challenges with our dogs when they got old – with both lakshmi and vishnu they lost their hind legs. we had the best acupuncture vet come for home visits and that made all the difference.

lakshmi died because she tore her meniscus and acl when not making it over the ottoman on the way to the door for her walk. i say she leaped out of this life. she was eating cookies when she fell asleep

vishnu was semi-ok with his weak legs, but got a fever and turned out to have a huge tumor on his lung. we only noticed a difference once, 3 weeks before when we were at altitude. he did not show any signs of trouble breathing, and even barked at the mailman on his last day at home.

we will see tomorrow how  merlin will do. he seems ok so far.

 

lakshmi hated fireworks. that she lost her hearing when she was 13ish made those things easier.

 

i miss her. she died just before her 15th birthday. july 6 she would have been 17…

yes, quality of life is most important!

 

i have heard that dogs respond very differently to chemo than we do – fewer side effects etc.

she may be able to have more good years with you. interested to hear what the options are.

oh, i totally missed this post. merlin had prednisone for an infection and the dose was 10mg x2 i think. and then taper.

he weighs 60lbs.

it made him drink a lot! and pee even more.

healing thoughts to schatze.

this is great!

we lost lakshmi in 2015 and vishnu a year ago.

in november we found merlin through rescue. he turned out to be at least 8.

he is a wonderful boy. he hates to be left. so i spend a lot of time at home….
