Phew...feeling SO much better. My Henry checked out [emoji108] at the vet. I had basically convinced myself that they were going to tell me he had cancer. Like so convinced I took an Ativan and had my son drive because i was shaking. Idk why I do these things to myself. He’s not been sick or anything but my head starts going a million miles an hour and I can’t stop thinking abt the things I love most getting ripped away by death.
They said there is nothing preventative I can do for his hind end. Just kinda have to wait until he exhibits symptoms and then treat him. That doesn’t really sit well with me so I’m consulting a couple dog crazies I know, love and above all trust. They both have had extensive experience w/elder larger dogs. I sadly don’t know enough about supplements and such on my own. The last senior dog I had was teeny tiny so no back end issues. Before that was my mom’s dog that we took over and she was already being treated w/glucosamine and chondriten (sp?). And a prescription med for pain and stiffness. It wasn’t until she almost died that I started learning about dog nutrition and health. I didn’t know enough to question what I was shoving down my dogs throat or why. I just did what I was told.
Anyway...Tomorrow I get the results of his blood tests. [emoji1696]
Roko goes in 2 weeks. Ugh.
