Thank you!
I appreciate that. I forgot to mention that we tried allergy pills for him but they didn't do any good. The doctor said we were wasting our money on them.
We are not going to put him down any time soon I think. Hopefully he will tell us when the right time is. With the breakthrough meds he has been more social. He was laying down in a quiet room most of the time - away from us and the little ones. Now he is loafing a bit more in the living room and dining area. That is a good sign that he feels better.
I'll tell you one thing about him though. He ignores his pain if he feels we or one of the little dogs is being threatened. We live in a rural area and there are a few stray dogs running around. Whenever they come up to the fence Ivan charges them and they leave quickly. No fence fighting for them - I think he scares them to death. |
