A Russian space capsule landed hundreds of miles off course. A search for the capsule and 3 astronauts (1 U.S. astronaut) is being conducted.
Good Saturday morning ping!
We went to the vet and I was amazed. The answer was of course pain pills, and the vet went back to the owner's office at least 4 times. Each time it was a different story as to why they can't give pain pills (”we're a corporation, now”). I suspect there are people who scam vets for pain meds.
Anyway, the last trip out of the office was a “quality of life” consult. In other words, why not kill the dog. We managed to get a three day supply of oxycodone pain pills and not kill the dog (although the strength was 4X what mine was). Anyway, we're ditching that vet and trying another today.
But, what is the deal with pain meds? Another dog I had years ago had back pain and I went to the pharmacy and filled a script !! The pharmacist said it happens all the time (horses, cows, etc)
Good Morning Lysie. Thanks for a great start to our weekend.
I try to give our Elsa a couple of baby aspirin a day for her hind quarters and glucosamine.
Good for you for finding a new vet. I hope this one hears your wishes.
Cripes! If my family used that vet's logic, Greg and I would have been put down years ago. Sheesh!
You are welcome.
Gentle hugs for your ((yellow lab)).
Rave, what's the name of that stuff I've seen advertised on TV that w/daily squirts into the arthritic dog's drinking water helps it to move more easily?
Thanks, lysie!, for still another delicious breakfast.
You are welcome.
Wonderful news. Thanks for the update and welcome to ATRW.
Even an elephant can draw better than I can. LOL
Good morning.
Nice and chill here - 51.
My 9 year old lab mix is starting to limp due to hip/back pain. She doesn’t whine, but she takes forever to stand or sit and she can barely go up and down stairs. Some days are better than others.
:(
Good morning, kassie.
Hello! Welcome to ATRW.
Are you headed to Convention today?
Good Morning Sweetie! 51 seems a tad bit chilly for your area.
I need sunshine! Sunshine of the lasting kind.
Now that’s a breakfast fit for a king and queen. Thank you lysie.
Daylight is still breaking, it looks like twilight out there.
Busy today.
