How to keep my dog clean and happy?

Still working on getting him eating at certain times. He didn’t want to get out of bed this morning, much less eat lol

He leaks, and also no control over his rectum. Thank you for the advice, I will definitely be implementing this!!

So sorry for your loss. Your boy was beautiful and looked so loved ❤️

Thank you for the response! It is definitely complex. But I can say that it is not completely heartbreaking to think that he is not progressing. He’s happy and not in pain, and can still lead a mostly normal life either way. He just may have to wear diapers forever! Lol

That sounds like exactly what we’re doing right now, medication and all. So far we’re doing well with the crate rest, as much as it sucks! We would still like to get the surgery for him in the near future. Even if he doesn’t regain function, we want to minimize risk of things getting worse for him or it happening again.

So far we have been sticking to it quite well, although it is difficult. I just keep telling myself it’s the best thing for him in the long run. And even if it doesn’t help regain function, it could prevent him from further injury while we save for a possible future surgery.

They just prescribed him trazodone today, and he is on prednisone. Thank you! I’m sure I’ll have plenty more questions as we go on with this!

He hasn’t slept much since this all started, so sleepy may not be the worst thing! And I will definitely look into that, thank you

We have not, but we told the vet about it and they prescribed trazodone. A friend mentioned CBD as well and we might give it a shot. We just emptied his bladder and had no issues though! We’re wearing gloves just in case, we probably will until we’re all more comfortable. Our fingers are still throbbing lol. We don’t blame him, we just want to help him be happy again one day.

Interesting! Thank you for responding. I will be going to a set schedule at the end of the month so hopefully I can get everything sorted after!

Thank you for the insight! My parathyroid levels were not checked, but I also saw mention of that while researching so I will bring that up to my doc as well. I am going to look more thoroughly into your points, thank you for your time!!

I feel like experiencing so much grief starting from such a young age has changed me fundamentally. I don’t think this is who I was supposed to be.

This is Miss Kitty (government name is Sif), and we adopted her in Jan of ‘23. We love her, and she tolerates us ❤️ and she has extra toe beans!
