The Dog thread

Dogs...who'd have them?

Well me,, but honestly they are terrible for causing us grey hair,

A little while ago George started getting up really early (4,30) and wanting to go out he would eat grass until he bought up yellow bile.. So off to the vet and she suggested later feeding time and omeprazol to calm his acid. So we now feed at 7pm and give him half a slice of toast as late as possible (around 10.30pm) as well as the omeprazol in his dinner and its helping but it hasnt cured the problem. Im having visions of Benny and his pancreatitis..He was a little older than George when it started.


Meanwhile Murphy had a strain in his leg a few years ago and then last year he had a benign lump removed from the same leg. He is due for his vaccinations now anyway but after walking in the woods we noticed he was limping on that same leg .. We've already bought a little folding step so that its easier for him to get into the car but he couldnt even manage to get in with that .
He is showing typical arthritis signs, limping after waking or when getting up from a laying position or after a long walk but not in short walks or once he gets moving,

So Ive booked a double appointment for tomorrow afternoon and hopefully we can get some clear answers..

I hate signs of aging in dogs it reminds you how short a time we have with them..
