He is a good boy. We've only had him 1 1/2 weeks and he already had a dental with 12 teeth removed. He also has Lymes and is on a course of doxyclicline. I sure hope the surgeon can help him with minimal pain.

Lyme can cause joint issues so you might want to wait and see how he is doing after the doxyclicline. LP surgery is nothing something to just jump to right away especially at 7 years old. It's a rough surgerynthey actually have to cut into the bone and the first two weeks are very rough and hard because they are hurting so bad even with all the meds and they don't want to eat. They have to be confined for 8 weeks sometimes 12 weeks.
