For the love of dog...


Well not much has gone on this week, Jak is still on antibiotics for what im hoping is just a bladder infection, the vet doesnt sound too convincing, i think she knows how upset i will be to lose him just yet, so im thinking positive, he is getting grumpier, he is eating less and is a lot less steady on his feet, he is also needing to wee a lot more often, whcih is understandable at his age, and he has had a few accidents recently which i know is very upsetting for him, as well as me as i realise my old boy wont be with me forever, as much as i need him to be. We have the vets again this evening to see if the blood has gone, or is reduced as it was last week, his protein levels had reduced, and the amount of blood cells, which is good news. fingers crossed tonight also will be better. He is refusing to eat if i add any joint supplements to his food, so he is just eating meat, from a fork i have to add, with his tablets hidden inside, but it means he eats a full meal!
Jak is my first own dog, in may he'll be 14, he has been through every up and down i have had, and really does mean the world to me, his vestibular was a shock, and it really hit home just how much he has aged recently. For now he is here, he is loved, and is the best boy in the world x

Hold him tight as much as you can so you can remember the imprint of him in your arms when the time comes. It will come but hopefully not yet. x
