Trip to the Vet

Trip to the Doctor

I turned 50 years old this year. Luke turned 11. Like me, I've noticed that Luke is moving slower, hobbling a bit and finding it harder to stand up.

We took Luke to the vet this week, and our doctor informed us that among other things, he believes that Luke is suffering from arthritis in his back leg and hip region. He's prescribed a pain killer to help him move about. It seems to help a little, but I'm not convinced that it provides him enough relief. We may be back for further testing.
