You may have already thought of this but I was wondering if your vet suggested 1/2 or 1/4 aspirin each day for pain relief for his joints? We have been giving Hansel 1/2 aspirin each day and it has helped him tremendously. Before he was having trouble climbing the stairs to go to bed at night and he's really too heavy for me to carry him very far. Now, with the aspirin he bounds up those stairs like he was still a young pup.
Sending warm hugs and prayers that Quincy finds some relief from the aging process and you find some peace knowing you are doing all you can. Blessings!! |
No they have not suggested that but I will be sure to ask them, thanks Diane.
Some of his problem may be due to his weight also. He is one of my 4-Porky Yorkies and weighs in at 14 lbs. Its so funny, if he's taking his good ol time getting in from the dog run or is tired that is when he struggles the most. But when he comes in running and has a heard start he makes it up those stairs pretty easily. Thinking about making him a ramp or a small step so he can get up the last step into the house. I think it is about 10-11' high. He just need a little boost. We've been having to help him up these past few weeks.
