Thank you all so much XOXOXO
Hubby took over this morning while I got a few hours of sleep. I'm so glad I slept downstairs because Gizmo woke several times in bad pain looking scared to death and would not cry, which reinforces my theory he was also physically abused as a pup, so I stayed awake watching him. It's been really hard to give his medicine for pain to him as he fights us tooth and nail :-( I don't think he likes the peanut butter flavoring they put in it, or he's actually tasting the med irregardless of the added flavoring. What scares me is he starts kicking with his legs to stop us from putting the syringe in his mouth, and he's making his leg hurt worse.
I keep telling my husband to keep him in his pen so he rests, but my husband feels bad and keeps taking him out, and of course then Gizmo thinks he can go running around making his leg worse :-(
Does anyone know of pet insurance that covers pre existing conditions ? I have a bad feeling that he's going to need surgery on that back left leg soon. When I read the vets paperwork, from what they wrote, it seems his LP has gotten worse because it now says is medial LP where before it was mild stage one.
He's like a child to me and it's breaking my heart watching him in pain. The worse part for me I think is the look of fear in his eyes when his pain flares up, and he looks like he's afraid to cry. The reason I believe he's afraid to cry is that when we rescued him, every time my husband would pet him he would yelp really loud even though it was just soft pets, it was like it was out of fear from men. He never did this with females, only men. So I think when he was a baby some man was hitting him, and now he is just to afraid to cry, for fear of being hit or something. It just goes to show, abuse stays with them forever and it breaks my heart so badly, no animal should ever be afraid of a human that way :-(
I just keep praying his pain Lets us soon, and he won't need surgery anytime soon. At this point he can't put any pressure on his leg at all, poor little guy xoxo
Please let me know if anyone knows a good insurance that covers pre existing conditions, thank you all again so much for your love and support for my animal and human family XOXO |
