Just got back from the vet and he received this 3rd shot. Dr. Singh did confirm that it does take some time to see a difference, so I hold my breath and wait to see positive results. I asked him about oral pain meds and he said that they do the same as the steroid shot, so after next week, he will continue to get a poke once a month for the rest of his life, or until I see his quality of life take a nosedive.

He has peed in the bedroom somewhere. I can smell that familiar ammonia smell. I didn't smell it when I got up this morning.....I guess I'll have to get down on hands and knees and feel for wet spots - or go and purchase a black light. Anyone know another quick way of finding the pee spots??

I'm off now to go and get a fruit basket to deliver to my vets office. After that I need to get some Christmas shopping done and a heating pad for Max.

Betty - I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering of you are in town. I'm going to call you over the holidays.

Thank you again for your love and prayers. This is what Pet Talk is all about.
