Hopefully he just needs some stronger meds. He has been on the baby aspirin every other day regimen for a few months now..

Not sure what to do.

We couldnt make the vet appointment yesterday but are going first thing this morning- he could hardly walk last night from pain!

He is older than we thought, vet thinks he may actually be like 12 or 13. I know in about 3 hours we will be heading to the vet, and Smokie might not be coming back home with me :(

You didn't mention Dasuquin or glucosamine of some kind. Is there a reason he's not on it?
Glad the pain med is helping.

he is allergic to it. Shut his airway down before :(

Yes I am happy - glad he is doing better, just parting with the $70 is rough lol

But all for the baby I guess- if it was a human child, medical bills would be much higher
