Although only dealing with two dogs, it's also difficult with Cosmos in end-stage Kidney Failure. I've been so focused on his care, that it was very easy not to notice some signs of trouble of a different surfacing in Sunny. Fortunately, Cosmos seems to have bounced back to a certain degree and instead of having to put him down imminently, we're now back to watching a very old and ill dog get some intense enjoyment out of life... at least for a little while longer. But what if this hadn't been the case? The signs that something was amiss with Sunny were there... getting so tired even on a short walk where characteristically, he would drag me for miles... and I probably wouldn't have responded. As it is, I'm taking him in to Rebecca (his Dr. Florio at Chat Oak Veterinary Clinic) next week for an evaluation. And I'm praying that we don't have a situation on our hands as serious as Cosmos. My point, of course being, it's really important to focus on the health of all of our pets, even as one's issues might dominate the medical world at the moment. Thanks for writing this article.
