We had a trip to the vets today because the lad has been limping a lot on his front right leg and his back legs have been going from under him a bit (not a lot) - it is just like he sits down but did not want to... The vet was surprised at how well he looked But was concerned that he has lost so much muscle from his back legs (the rump area)... After lots of talking and playing, it was decided to that we would try some Sashas Blend and see how that goes (he is already on fish oil) because the vet thinks he has a bit of arthritis... Unfortunately there are no conventional medicines that we can use for Ollie because of the cancer he has and the other meds he is on. I don't mind, I really did not want to subject him to more drugs anyway... I have to go to a meeting tonight but the boys are going to give him a nice warm shower and a blow dry and when I come home (a good excuse to leave early), I am going to give him a massage - the vet thinks that massage will help... I might have a look at acupuncture as well... Cheers Jodie and Ollie dog

Thanks all... If only we could cure the rear end smells... I have just introduced Inner Health Plus tablets hoping that some good gut bugs might do him some good... I had some friends over last night who have not seen him in ages and they were totally amazed at how well he looks... He was jumping all over the place and barking to get attention for the first few minutes, then he settles down on someones foot (he does it everytimes someone comes now - I think he thinks they are visiting him)... His head and face was losing condition - you could see the boney bump on top of his head and his cheeks had thinned out but in the last week or so even this has improved... It just makes my heart sing when he is well... I will take some more pics of the boofer over the weekend and put them up so you can all see how well he is. Cheers Jodie and Ollie dog

I noticed this thread on Wednesday and just could not come in... Life is so unfair sometimes. Page must be a very special Angel to be called home so early... So glad she has Jet to keep her company. Thoughts and prayers are with her family at this most difficult time.

I am mona - I count our blessings every day that he is with us and he is happy and healthy... He is hiding under the desk because of the thunder outside at the moment - big wuss... Cheers Jodie

Sorry for your loss... RIP Puss... Jodie

fifi, danny and the hounds - so sorry for your loss... RIP Didi and Banshee, run free... Jodie

Scratch delivered... He is hogging the air con at the moment, sound asleep... Cheers J

I would have said snake as well - sounds just like my sister's dog when he was bitten by a snake. They thought it was a brown snake... The rotten things get away so quick too... So sorry for your loss... Jodie
