Trip to ER7
Winded up taking Bailey to the vet early this AM as he had a rough night shaking, upset belly and just seemed uncomfortable. ER Vet believes due to the arthritis in his spine that he is probably having muscle spasms and some arthritis pain. She gave us some medication to coat his belly so it won’t get so upset from the pain meds. She also gave us some anti-inflammatory medication and said we can increase the dosage we were giving him of Rimadyl and Tramadol as we find appropriate for him.
We will see how he does and make sure his quality of life is not diminished by the meds or any pain. Unfortunately the extra stress on his one hind leg is not helping his arthritis.
Awwwww Sweet Bailey…..we’re all keeping our paws crossed over here that your meds help out. And that’s a lot of tripawd power!
Your momma loves you so much, but you already know that She’s not going to let your hang around and feel miserable just because you would try and do that for her…..because thar’s how much you love her!!
Hopefully these pain meds can make things better for you. So you let her know what your wishes are loud loud clear. If you start feeling better, you give her lots of tail wags and pillow snuggles!! And if, after a bit, it’s clear thet aren’t working, you let her know that too, okay?
Today you are home, probably suggling on your pillow righg ow and that means it’s a good day!! You are just ridiculously cute and are living quite a miraculous life! Nineteen and srill counting! I think you’re breaking some records over ther Bailey!
Keep checking in withnus, okay? We’re rightnhere byyour side!
Surrounding you with peace and healing energy and a little extra dose of strength tossed in!
Love and hugs,
Sally and Happy Hannah

I will try to get some more pixs up and a video. Some days I watch him outside and it is like he is 5 years old again and have 4 legs the way he holds himself.
Bailey- Hope you’re feeling better soon! You are one beautiful boy!! Try not to scare your mom too much!

Thank you. My mom’s nickname for me is “handsome man” so I think she thinks I am good looking too.
Bailey… I wish I aged as good as you sir!! I hope these meds make you feel comfy and that the stomach stuff helps you feel a bit better. Upset tummys are the worst for any 4 legger, 3 legger and two legger!!
enjoy your day sweet boy…
Christine….. with Franklin in her heart♥
Belly seems to be doing just fine with the meds. No upset belly yet, paws crossed.
