I have avoided this subject all weekend. Thug is not well. As a matter of fact, on Friday we weren't sure if he would make through the weekend or not. I took him to the vet Friday night, he wound up having some x-rays and while they weren't conclusive, it looks like he has some neurological damage that is affecting his ability to walk. He is very unsteady on his feet, and will fall easily. Sometimes his back legs just give out on him, and sometimes his front legs fail and he does a face plant. We've got him on a serious pain medication, and he will start steroids tomorrow. We can tell he doesn't feel well, but he's still eating, drinking, and doing the other things that dogs do. He gets tired very easily, and I wind up carrying him around most of the time. To say I'm upset about this is an understatement. At least I know has been well taken care of and has had a life full of love.
