Took my old man back to the vet.

Took my old man back to the vet.  He's been licking the floor and stumbling, and his appetite is disappearing.  🙁

On the bright side he gained 4 lbs so that's great.  I can still feel his spine like there is only skin over it, though.  🙁  I asked the vet if he could have myositis all over and not just on his head, and that could be a possibility - especially with him stumbling now.  Another plus was that his blood work came back great, so that was a huge relief for me.  So, we are sticking with the myositis diagnosis for now.

We are upping his Prednisone to twice daily and he's also got an antacid to see if that helps with the licking.  I really hope he feels better soon.  I hate looking at my puppy and being able to tell that he feels like a pile of turds.  I've been there.  When my arthritis flares up and I can't walk too well I hate life.  I do not want him to feel that way.  🙁

Anyway.  The blood work being ok was a huge chunk of stress off of me.  I'd been worried that they were going to turn up something really bad.  Maybe we can get him eating and walking a little better for now.  I feel like I'd be lost without my Scooter.  I'm not ready to think about what happens if we can't make him better yet.  🙁
