Last Thursday, I noticed my dog Beau walking like a very old man. (Next month he will turn 14 years old). I could tell with the cold weather it was getting harder for him to get up and walk around. Yesterday, he was just lying around not moving at all. I called the vet to let him know about his condition. He wanted me to bring Beau in to see him.
But my husband insisted that we not take him to the vet anymore. “If it’s time for him to go, I want Beau to pass away at home.” My poor Beau is too heavy to be picked up and carried to the truck so it’s even harder for us to move him around.
I picked up some arthritis medication for him, and it’s helping a little. He’s eating and seems to enjoy the extra attention given to him. But he can’t pick himself up and he’s having a hard time with that. I think now, he pretty much lost the use of his hind legs.
My beautiful pet Beau. If he’s not better within a few days, the vet recommended we put him down.
Oh, how my heart is aching! :(
