Chris just spoke with the vet, and she seems to think we should not think of Putter on his death bed yet. She said let's try the steroids to see if they can shrink whatever growths might be bothering him, she has some other medicine to help some other issues as well. So, we'll see. We were very worried about this being a long weekend, and our wonderful vet not being available if we need her, but it sounds like we can buy some time doing her procedures. She said sometimes even 6 months or so, but I do not have my hopes up for that. So we'll take it day by day, I suppose, and see how it goes.
We do notice that George, in all of his 14 year old doggy glory, seems to know that something is wrong with Putter and seems to be a bit stressed by all of this. He has a couple of patches of fur he likes to gnaw away at. Perhaps we just need to bring in a dog psychologist, and he can help us all through this process!
Basically, all is not lost yet, and perhaps we should look a little bit more on the brighter side, for a few more weeks at least. I will try and post a picture sometime later.
