The State of the Dog 2

This past Friday Yoshi had an Xray of his neck. It wasn’t the news we were hoping for. His spondylosis has progressed up his neck and the vet is thinking that his current condition isn’t likely due to an injury, but rather his degenrating spine.

For now he is off one of the drugs he was taking, and when we next talk to the vet we will see about upping the dose on something else. Right now he isn’t any worse nor any better than last week.

I really want Yoshi to be able to enjoy life. Every time I get him to go lay down in his corner I feel a little guilty and quite sad. This is no life for him. I hope that some time in the next month we can hit on some combination of medications that can help him out and allow him to enjoy life again.

There is more from Sox here.
