I saw last month you were going to have a surgical procedure and am glad that was successful, am so very sorry to hear about your other back/spine problem and the pain. Try to keep your spirits up and pray, we’ll be praying for you to overcome this setback.
Our 11 year old inherited miniature schnauzer Buddy was diagnosed with congestive heart failure a couple months back after having some problems. With the meds he’s on now he’s doing good but we know it’s just a matter of time, heart Vet seemed to think a year and a half, maybe a little more. We feel about him like you feel about Louie and hope he’s doing good, he’s still a youngster. :-)
Prayers up and God bless you both, my FRiend!
OH GOSH, I’m so sorry about your darling Buddy, but I think 12-13 years is a pretty good run for his breed and he has the best of care and love with you two. I know that our Pug, Jack, surprised everyone when he lived till age 19 because Dr. O cooked him liver every night...lol. Jack refused to eat anything else after Dr. O passed him a piece of liver from his plate one night. I’d toss canned spinach in with his liver once a week and he’d eat that, too, provided the liver was cut into smaller than usual pieces. I keep forgetting to buy liver while I’m at the store. (Louie is a very fussy eater).
