Taking care of two older dogs: Barn2 and Clare

 
Since the Xray wasn't very clear, vet sent him for MRI. Looking at the MRI report, it appears that his problem might be mild degeneration of L2 and L3 not T 9 and T 10. But the MRI wasn't well done- so its not that clear. Another vet proposed CT Scan. As Christmas is a very busy time for me, we will KIV the CT Scan till late January...if we are going ahead with it. Meanwhile, he is undergoing acupuncture again.....

 
To make his back more comfortable when he is in his cage (sometimes).... I got him an orthopaedic memory foam bed.



 
The past four to five days after acupuncture, his back legs still look like he is walking on sleet. Good days and bad days... still observing.
 
 
Clare has arthritis( her xray showed it) . Doesn't show most of the time unless she jumps around a bit too much. She gets a jab once a month....

 
She is still extremely active...

 
...and funny....

 
Both are good complainers.

 
Both take over my bed at night...
