Sookie needed a vet appointment. The arthritis in her knees has been progressing, so we needed to bring her in for a check. She got her vaccines, flirted with the vet and our awesome vet tech, got pets, and once it was determined that taking X-ray in her current state would be painful for her, got a little bit sedated.
About three hours later we picked Sookie up, and she had a lovely time at home of napping and lounging about. This morning the sedation wore off. Turn the sound up and please excuse the drool.
I gave her her new painkiller but it must not have kicked in yet, because she’s moaned for about an hour and a half now. She is super loud and I heard her all the way back in the office.
Gordon think she might be playing up for the sympathy because when she moans, I drop everything and got to see if she is in discomfort. I think she is mourning the wonderful sedative and going back to her doggie grind of sleeping 23 hours a day. Miss Sookie is the whole mood this morning.
The good news is, a new arthritis drug is schedule to be released in the next couple of month and we will definitely get her on it.
I wish you a happy awroo-roo Tuesday.
Lord, this is hilarious.
She needs to become some weird magical character for Kate to find and ‘fix’. Heh.
As a human with arthritis I sympathize with Miss Sookie. The chronic pain from it is not for the faint of heart as it you get to having lived with it for over 30 years. I don’t want to even think about how it feels for her since she can’t understand just what is happening and why she hurts. Give her a couple of pets for me I know how she feels.
Poor lady! I hope she gets plenty of feelbetter nummies.
Oh my…such sadness! What a great face.
Poor Sookie ! Arthritis really sucks 🙁 She might have been a little dysphoric too because of the sedation (if it was butorphanol for instance it can happen) but here since she didn’t moaned all the time I think Gordon’s theory is more probable ahah ! Dogs can be really good dramatic actors when they want too : I’m a vet student and last week one of the hospitalized dog moaned like hell whenever we lightly touched her, so we told her owners that she was in a lot of pain but each time they visited she was totally different : on her feet, waiging her tail and jumping, not manifesting any pain at all ! I think she just hates vets now and found her strategy to make sure we don’t touch her anymore : totally played us !
