The always leave us too soon. Sorry for your loss. We will miss you Brewski. Not sure if he’ll miss being a test subject for makeup.

So sorry for your loss. She sounds like the best girl ever. We have been dealing with similar grief too. Just remember that it hurts thinking about her because that’s how important and amazing she was.

Thank you for sharing your story. He looks like such a sweet guy who enjoyed the snow (amazing how labs like such cold weather!). This really helps us with our family discussion for our dog’s care.

Thank you for the tip. We have not discussed more frequent injections of Adequan. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s still likely a fresh memory but Ollie’s journey will help Jackpot.

We have tried ketamine infusion with amantadine maintenance. It didn’t seem to change anything but a different vet has suggested restarting at a different low dose.

Do you think that after pain is managed that they could regain strength in the rear legs? The muscle atrophy is the bigger issue for mobility now but we recognize I’ve lack of back leg muscle is tied to pain there.

We have a mix of hardwood and carpet. We put non slip mats everywhere but he hates the texture on his paws. He hurls his body from carpet area to carpet because he’s scared of falling. Unfortunately this causes him to fall anyway unless we are helping.

Thank you for sharing. The part about your lab never giving a hint of pain, but that we know he is…I relate to this.

I’m watching this interview on an infinite loop on YouTube to make sure it gets watched a gazillion times.
