Sorry guys, life has been nuts and I got caught in a vicious cycle of work/sleep/work and nothing else. Thanks to all your healing energy Hank is doing AMAZING!!! His back is totally normal looking and seems to think he needs to chase squirrels. He's still getting both pain meds and sedatives but I had to bump the ace way up because he's "pushing past" it. The vet said at this point he would seem a lot better but still need to stay quiet.

So good to see him returning to his normal Hank the Couchdog self. His appetite is coming back but the kindly Merrick sales rep is sending me free case coupons too so that will help out.

Now onto the business of paying mom back, ugh!
