It helps. I also have hin on immume supplements. I got them from 4life. They seem to help. I like you an spending every day with him and loving on him even more that I did before. If that's possible. I wont let him suffer. I think he and I will know when the time for him to go will be. I hope not for a while. I always have the thought that he will be waiting for me when I cross over. |
Good work My Kids. Rimadyl does nothing for osteo pain. The Tramadol has made a huge difference to my dog too. She's not in pain and has a good appetite but since the osteo is in her jaw she can't eat unaided so I spoon feed her. Her appetite is good and she makes it easy for me to feed her. She is her happy, fun loving self.
I too believe our much loved dogs will be waiting for us. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me.
I wish you both good times together and please keep us posted.
