11 yr old mongrel, always had shitty legs as he's a real Heinz 57 so long body and short legs think corgi x Labrador. He's beaut! Anyway! He on Metacam/ Loxicom for his arthritis in his hips and knees, but I worked a night shift this week and packed the dogs off to day care because I've been struggling to get them out whilst on nights.
Day care lady said he ran around like a 6 month old.. and man is he paying for it! He is so stiff and sore bless him. He's already on Metacam and a paracetamol once a day. However he's struggling to get up the stairs now, I'm installing baby gates tomorrow so he doesn't hurt himself on the stairs as he's so shit at walking up them. I feel like such a bitch doing this as he's slept with us since we adopted him at 2.
How do you know it's the end? He hasn't played with our other dog for a couple of days at home, and hasn't been interested in playing with a ball, but will happily go and chill in the sun outside and bark at birds. Maybe this is a new phase of his life?
