Thought I was living a nightmare again
Tomorrow will be my sweet peeb’s third anniversary of her passing. She was running around like a pup and then started slowing down and was clearly in pain. We brought her into the emergency vet to find a tumor ruptured and she was internally bleeding. she was gone within hours. For lack of better word, it really messed me up and took a while for me to shake it. I still cry sometimes when I pass McDonald’s because we tried to give it to her for her last meal.
On Friday my new fart hippo, Dexter became extremely lethargic and started exhibiting the same behavior after a week of happy running, extreme food motivated self he is. In my head, the worst of the worst was running around. Not again, not again, not again.
We took him into another emergency vet for reactive dogs and we learned that he herniated a disc in his back. He was in a ton of pain and that’s why he didn’t want to move or eat.
So now we’re on bed rest for two weeks. I can tell after day 2 he’s extremely bored but I want this good boy to heal so he doesn’t live a life of pain.
What’s the best way to keep my dog from jumping up on the couch besides putting our wooden table chairs on our couch?
