He's 15 years old and he hates to wake up in the morning. Kinda reminds me of me when I was 15. hehehe
Having lost the DAWG that I grew up with I should tell you that when Benny passes (and it will be soon I suspect) his bladder will empty and that beautiful bedspread may not be salvageable. I can only hope that you have a plastic mattress cover also.
And, as usual Shoonra's stiff necked and unseemly criticism can be safely ignored.
Dad brought ol' Spud (a Beagle who walked kinda sideways because he was hit by a car) home when I was about 5 yrs old, and at 16 I was on the road (my first road trip) with a band. We were in Charleston, SC gigging at The Merchant Seaman's Club, a private, after hours bottle club that anyone but the cops could enter after showing a driver's license, something that undercover cops won't do.
One morning I had the strangest feeling that Spud was gone. (He wasn't sick or anything when I left town two weeks before) A phone call home proved that my eerie sensation was correct.
Poor Benny has a hernia too, I see. And animal companions that age invariably suffer from degenerative joint problems, and their kidneys are prone to failure.
actually, it's not a hernia, it's a fat tumor. I had it and another one biopsied about 3 months ago. The vet and I agree that he is too old to put through the trauma of removing them at this point.
He still has a lot of energy for an old guy, aside from not wanting to get up in the morning.
As far as bladder problems go, he is already experiencing a little leakage if I let him stay in bed too late. I do have a mattress pad on the bed for those occasional leaks. He's been a good friend for a long time, so washing sheets and blanket once in a while is not a big deal.
My dog is 16 (ive posted video of her- Maxine turns 16) She had started to wet the bed a year ago & the vet said give her MOVE FREE (its for people).Arthritis was affecting her bladder.After THE FIRST SINGLE pill-she never pissed the bed again.Great stuff
Excellent recommendation. I had my sweet girl on that from 8 on out and it really kept her moving. Swanson's has a similar product with the same ingredients for a lot less. : )
I got a call last night that a little ol' lady is in need of a foster mom. I'm going to pick her up on Thursday. She's an 11 year old greyhound named Lala. As luck would have it, I will also will be babysitting a six year old named Enzo while his parents are on vacation for 10 days at the same time. Will be nice to have hounds around.
wow, i never met anyone else who's given move free to their dog. She has always hated pills, but the move free she chomps like candy. Greyhounds are sweet & timid dogs, from what ive seen. have fun!
