Prayers for Hanky

[bmccasland]

Glad to hear Hank is doing much better! Hope the chiropractor can help him even more.

And tell Harley to watch the JD intake, the morning after is no fun. A wee nip for medicinal purposes only...

'Cuda and Diva are sending lots of happy doggies hugs and kisses (yes, they do hug, too), and I"m sending butterflies and scratches.....

So glad you're finding some alternatives and that Hank is doing better. Life has a way of turning out.....

What's happening with your job?

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Smurf: Just came off 3 nights work and found this thread. I'm sorry for what you and Hank had to go through. But am so glad things are going better! I agree with the pain control need in these guys. Also, if this ever occurs again, muscle relaxers can be a nice combo with pain meds to help them relax (you mentioned he was "hunched up" -- this helps them relax).

Fate is funny -- glad you found a way to get some treatments for him that are affordable and may help him. I have no experience with the laser treatments for this -- it's kind of new to our profession. Would love to hear your thoughts if you take him for the treatments.

Here's to Hank frolicking freely again soon! (OK.. not TOO soon!)

LOL, is it me or do we have a lot of alcoholic pets here?

Nah, my Chloe is a drug addict --- Rimadyl is her drug of choice, but she has to settle for glucosamine.

I try to limit her intake to once a week

When I was a teenager, we lived in Tucson, and had the obligitory pool in the back yard. Our dog, a schnauzer, would chase us from the side, back and forth as we'd swim laps. So Dad comes home, pops a beer, leaves it at one end, dives in to cool off, and begins to swim laps. Dog starts chasing him. At some point the dog knocks over the beer. BEER! And laps it up.

Next day, Dad does the same thing. Leaves open can of beer at one end. Begins to swim laps.... dog starts chasing him, then midway, does a quick reverse, runs over and knocks over and helps himself to the beer.

Dog with hangover is not a pretty sight. But he repeated this new trick until Dad learned his errant hand was not knocking over the beer, but his beloved dog! The rest of us thought it was hysterical.

Back to Hank.... How's the treatment going? Is he feeling better? Nala sends good cheer.
