Got home from the vet a little bit ago. The doctor thinks Scooter has Temporal Myositis which is an autoimmune problem that causes the facial muscles to atrophy. That would explain why he's barely eating and losing weight, and also why his face and head look boney. 🙁 They prescribed Prednisone to stop the inflammation. It will most likely make him hungry, too, so maybe he'll get back to a normal weight soon. Paws crossed that my old man feels better soon!
Now I'm doing doctor stuff with Shaun. He hurt his back and is in a lot of pain. Thank goodness he had a fancy decorative cane around his house. I don't think I could support his weight to help him walk. 🙁 Really hoping that my other old man gets to feeling better soon, too. ❤
