I think I wouldn't give him the meds in that case, either, Windsparrow, FWIW. Happier is better.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I can't do it. I can't make myself give him medication that makes him feel crappy.
I believe strongly in quality of life over quantity. For every species. But especially for pets who trust us so completely with their well-being.
I know that my vet worked with me for years finding the best treatments for Kittenish that also gave her the best quality of life. We found out that I could give her a second dose of her thyroid meds via a transdermal cream and that made her so much happier than liquid meds twice a day where she'd flinch whenever I touched her.
Talk things over with your vet, of course, but Harvey's happiness is important. Don't discount that.

Compassionately intolerant
I totally agree on quality of life.
If I had _only_ known Bartleby's true condition, I would never, ever have gone to extraordinary measures. He seemed happy enough, but it had to be incredibly painful. His happiness and well-being were always paramount in my heart. So, yeah, I'm with you Andi.
I haven't gone there today. But I also haven't checked my guilty pleasure links yet today. That place is awful but I click like it's crack.
Honestly, I found my self squirming and trying to shut my eyes against it, but I would. not. look. away.
It got to the point where I was sort of ashamed of myself for polluting my own mind.
But. They DO have excellent dog stories on the regular. I just couldn't look past all the other stuff...even for my own good.

I can look at it, Sean.

Yup. Anytime is fine.

I had to go see what the fuss was about and EEPS! I think the site may be run by soul-sucking demons.

Ugh, a little TMI whine: I thought I was all better and could drop the yeast diet this week, but ONE DAY off it and my rash came back. Phooey. So back on I guess. Just roasted some almonds; I hope they get me through any cravings today.
