So.....the vet gave him a shot of cortisone and pills (Prednisone, I think it's called) to relieve the pain of his arthritis, which is not only in his back legs, but also (the vet thinks) in his spine. The poor old guy ain't in the best shape of his life, but we have hopes that he is going to be okay for the time being.
The shot he got is already working, he is moving much better, and the vet said we should see more improvement after about 7 hours. Hopefully, the Prednosone he'll be taking will do a better job of relieving his pain than an aspirin.
I want to thank ALL of you for your comforting words and hugs this morning. Patti, what you said to me was lovely -- thank you.
Kathey, we are talking about your ramp idea, and will probably do that on the steps. You're somethin' else, ya know it? On Sunday you solve my spice storage problem (which I am LOVING, by the way) and today, you come up with a great idea to help my poor arthritic pup. I am so glad you are in my life.
All of you who have had to make "that decision" about your pets were so helpful. We have had numerous dogs and cats, and we have never had to put one down -- they have all lived to be old and they died of natural causes. I know that I will have to face that someday with Butter, and I am so glad that you guys are here, for that will be so hard for me, you can't imagine.
I am off to read a few posts now. Later, dear friends. Thanks once again.....BB


That Kathey is a keeper, isn't she? Smart thinking on her part, to come up with the ramp idea! Duh!!! Excellent.
Well, ok, guess we can all relax now. Seren

My poor old McDogg hurt terribly in his last few months too. It isn't easy to see it happening.
Hugs to you, Beebs (and the rest of the family too!). Give the Butter-dog a hug from his Auntie Kt, plez!

My new client was so happy to have me help her today! She is very nice and planes to have me again, maybe once a week.

Give Butter a hug from me,

Lesley, I am sorry about your foxie's health going down lately. It's so hard to see that happen to our four-legged friends. Give her a hug from me, and I will give my Butter your hug...:-).....BB
