Sick As A Dog

You may remember me mentioning last week McGruff hasn't been feeling good.  :(  He has a condition, degenerative disc disease, causing his back to hurt from time to time.  We had to put him back on meds last Wednesday.  Usually the meds kick in about a day later he's back to his old chipper self. 

It's now been a week of meds and lots of TLC from Momma and McGruff just isn't his usual self.  It makes me sad.  I snapped these quick pics of him.  Doesn't he look so sad?  My poor little baby.  He's going back to the vet today for a check up.  We shall see what they say.  Keep my lil babe in your prayers if you don't mind.  I want him to feel better and be his usual perky self. 

My heart hurts when I see him looking like this.  :(  It makes me cry big puppy dog tears. 





xoxo,
Mrs. D

    Aww, poor little guy. :( My aunt has 3 of the red dachsunds and 2 of them have had to have back surgery to correct their issues. Fingers crossed McGruff is on the mend soon! I hate it when my babies are hurting too. :(

    I just saw your sweet comment about my Maximus - oh man, that must be SO SO hard. I worry all the time about their backs because I know they all have a tendency to have issues. I hope he starts feeling better soon. How old is he?

    Weenie dogs are the best! So glad I found another person who loves them as much as me!

    I've heard of wiener dogs having back problems, but usually it occurs because of weight.... Is the disc something they can operate on to make better?
