I read so many times of people struggling with their aged or ailing pets and wondering if their time has come. Now it's my turn.
Louie is now 14+ and is not doing well at the moment. Mostly it is arthritis in one of his front legs as a result of a break when he was very young that was left to self heal. (Before we got him of course). He's been on Meloxicam and Glucosamine with Chondroitin for a few years and more recently on Meloxicam and Tramadol. For the last couple of days none of them seem to be helping and he is limping badly. To add to that, he has had badly infected anal glands for over a week. He just finished the antibiotics yesterday but is still seeping blood so back to the vets this afternoon. He eats quite well so long as we make it interesting but is steadily losing weight.
My husband is in complete denial and my heart is aching. He has bounced back before and I sometimes call him "my comback kid". Let's hope he will again.
