I think I’m losing my best friend
Hi all, two weeks ago my 13 year old collie’s back legs gave out, my parents took him to the vet and he got some medicine or an injection or something to relax the nerves? I’m not really sure, my dad didn’t tell me much and I was away at university when it happened. Since coming home, my dog has been on meloxaid every day for his arthritis.
He looks worse than when I saw him last at Easter, he’s so skinny now because he can’t move as much and won’t eat his normal food. I know he has an appetite because he’ll eat anything else I put down, I gave him a tin of mackerel today because I noticed he hadn’t eaten again. I want to bring up maybe getting tinned food instead for him but my parents think he’s just being spoiled.
I’m just scared with the way this is going I’ll not have him much longer, I know part of having a dog is letting go of them when the time is right but I thought I would have longer, you always do right? It hurts seeing that he’s all there mentally but his body is just giving up.
I’m sorry if this is too long, I’m just so scared of losing him, and I know I already am.
