did i just click on the wrong thread? are we talking dos now? we had to take our dog into the monterey animal hospital today. something is awry with one of her back legs. she has been shrieking and whining all day. because of her age, the doctor didn't want to push us into anything expensive, so she suggested trying a doggy ibuprofen and see if the condition clears up before we move on to x-rays of her hips and spine. we're not supposed to give her the ibuprofen unless she is eating and drinking normally - which she is not doing right now. she won't even touch her favorite treats. so she just keeps whining in pain. i wish the vet could have at least given her a shot for the pain. btw, vets are expensive. just in case you weren't aware. lol.
