Just spoken to the vet. He’s off the new pills, off all NSAIDs for life, and back on paracetamol for now (she pointed out he was on the minimum dose last time, so he can have more. But will that make him drink even more…? I suppose wee is easier to clean up than vomit), gabapentin is a possible: it helps some dogs with arthritis but not most.

And after that the only other option is the dreaded Librela. She did say that after a few months they can train me to give him the injections, so that would at least cut down on his car trips, but the side effects…. They’re rare, but they’re awful.

Fuck.
