Another update on Rocky, the sick rottie

[K9karen]

The difference is remarkable! He looks so alert and healthy. I hope he continues doing well. Miracles do happen. Love sure is the best medicine, isn't it?

Now how did I miss this thread the first time around? I have often wondered how he was doing and I'm more than happy to hear he's doing so well. At least they are all having some good times together as the time grows nearer. I do hope he continues to feel good

Thank you everyone, for caring so much about Rocky!

He's still doing fine, even though my mother told me yesterday that he sometimes seems to "slip" now. Well, his hip bones and spine are not in the very best condition, even though he seems to cope very well.

Is there no way at all to operate him?

Well, their vet said he wouldn't like to do it on a dog of Rocky's age and condition, apparently there's a high risk.

Sometimes it makes one feel better to know that the pup got to meet the older dog before the older one passed away. He/she will need the Rocky seal of approval.

Well, that could be, yes. And Reinhold (mom's fiancé) thinks it's easier for the pup to grow up with another dog as a "role model". He made good experiences in the past, when Rocky was young.
