Thanks to everyone for your best wishes for Barney...
We are treating him with bute which is an anti-inflamatory and it seems to be helping with his sudden onset of pain. We have also bumped up his grain at feeding time and Wayne is hand feeding him in the morning now too in order to try to put some weight back on him. I think the warmer spring temperatures may be helping too.
He is still braying for his food at dinner time and it is good to know that he still looks forward to his meals and keeping me on schedule. We'll see what happens, but for right now he seems to have rallied.
We will enjoy whatever time we have left. He will get his favorite treats, lots of attention, and I will make sure that when we spend our time together each evening that I tell him all of those things that need to be said...
Thanks again for all of your support - will keep you updated on the old boy...
Glad to know he seems better. Spring and green grass always seems to help. Hope things keep going up, up, up...

I'm glad to hear that Barney seems better. Bless you for the care you're giving him.
ReplyDeleteRich, Barney couldn't have better care than you two. Bummer that he is in pain. Nice to know that when he goes there will be someone up there taking care of him. You are a really good person.
