That is so awesome, Allie =). (Ms Dolittle! -from Dr. Dolittle, you always do so much so should be more like Ms. DoMuch! but you know what I mean).
What did you take a photo of on your walk today? PART 2!
Chunk is sick
He collapsed on his walk yesterday and needed a car ride home
I took these pics just minutes before he collapsed…
And this one after we got home
Thanks Susan. I’ve got him on extra pain meds and strict rest but will go vets if needed.
He’s been having extra pain meds and I’ve got him on very limited activity, just 15 mins walk this morning and maybe the same later if he’s well enough.
I’ll give him cuddles from you all
Sending healing vibes through the interwebz for THE CHUNKSTER!!!
Feel better buddy!
Chunk update
My big lad managed two fifteen minute walks yesterday, one morning and one evening. This morning he’s had 20 mins and I think that is his limit for now as he started to struggle towards the end. I’m planning to give him two 15-20 min walks each day going forward and will see how he goes. He’s not needed any extra pain meds today which is a good sign, but I have to accept that my best boy is an old man now and just can’t do the long hikes we have always done together…
Wishing Chunk happiness and wellness in his older years. Sorry to hear he is declining but it is good he can do two walks a day.
Aww, is it arthritis he needs the pain meds for? Big cuddles to Chunk, I hope that he is feeling better soon.
His vet treats it as arthritis and his pain meds (https://www.vetoquinol.co.uk/content/cimalgex®) are meant for arthritis, but it’s never really been diagnosed as anything as nothing showed on his x-rays or scans, but he has this ongoing left shoulder pain. Dear old fella, time to treasure each day for sure
Awww, well I hope that the pain killers help him and that all he needs is to slow down do to getting older.
