Joe, our vet, wanted to try pain meds on Meeteetse (8 year old MF female) and they started yesterday. She kissed us like crazy about a half hour afterward, and is holding her back a decent bit better and her legs more under herself. She'd still been playing each day, but now she's obviously feeling a good deal better and happier. It's all about quality of life for her now. She's just having a fine old time controlling the house and bossing us around. We know that a time will come when she'll need a mercy shot, but till then she DESERVES to play, trot, go tube-tube, and push paper from boxes for as long as she wants. [Posted in FML issue 3178]
