An aging furbaby is hard to watch because we remember when they were so busy. Our big guy,2bits, lived to be 15 1/2. He was our protector,babysitter and puppy trainer. He was such a big part of our lives that when he became unable to do what he normally did,we figured that it was our turn to care for him. His weight went from 70lbs to 50lbs over a 2yr period. In his last days,the child that he kept from escaping from my house as a toddler that was only 6months older than he,began caring for him by carrying him outside,taking his food and water to him because he could not get up easially,and making sure that he got his meds twice a day. There were many things about 2bits becoming old and unable that were tuff,but there were so many sweet things that came from that time as well.
I dont have any advice for you about your babys dental needs. I hope that his annual vet visit will go well and your vet will have some helpful advice.
Blessings to you and your baby. |
