Certainly sounds unpleasant. I hate the "maybe you need to take action, we'll let you know" warnings more than actually following emergency procedures, personally. Definitely makes for more anxiety than, you know, doing something.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our elderly Standard Poodle, Truman, is at the vet getting x-rayed to see if they can find the cause of his obvious back and leg pain. Poor guy. His hearing is going, his sight is iffy and he is starting to do things like just stand in one place for a long time without moving. He's an ooooold man. He is still the sweetest dog alive, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor Truman.

Yeah, I would have felt better in the stairwell, I'm sure!
At least then I got to go to a meeting that didn't end up happening, but those of us who were there had a hilarious conversation about 90s rap where I revealed more about my personal tastes than previously.

That's always fun.
Poor Truman. Walter has his vet appointment for similar mysterious - I'm not even sure it's pain because he doesn't whine or anything but he is clearly stiff and slow has trouble standing up after he's been lying down and stairs are just, ugh, don't talk to him about stairs. Tiger balm has seemed to help. The weird thing is he seemed to get less stiff and more able to deal with the granite stairs cut into trails the longer we were hiking in the mountains, so I can not even theorize.

It takes a while for the joints to loosen up.

We heard back from the vet--he has some arthritis but that doesn't explain his weakness. They discovered some kidney stones, which may be the culprit. When they get the labs back, they are going to tell us whether they are caused by bacteria, which means all he needs is a special medicine, or by salts build-up, in which case he may need surgery. So, there you go.

Hubby had horrible kidney stones till he stopped drinking the city water. We have very hard water, and the minerals weren't being filtered out. When he went to bottled water, the kidney stone frequency dropped about 90%.

God to know, Connie. I wonder if Truman's predilection for toilet water is a factor.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Truman is not allowed to be old.

Good luck for easy treatment for Truman.
Muumuu is every bit as comfortable to work in as I imagined.
