A Talk with the Vet

Annie is having a very rough allergic fall where she is getting little scabs (we call them "scabie babies") on her ears, her back, her forehead, her legs - absolutely everywhere!  The vet has been so gracious to us, letting us send her pictures of Annie and then calling us back.  

Dr. Paula was willing to put Annie on three weeks of antibiotics to see if that, along with prednisilone, would help us get a jump start on her "scabies" until we started to discuss how Annie really is doing.

We no longer go for walks.  We go for very slow meanders because Annie can barely walk.  Annie has fallen down the steps.  Annie now falls with almost every meander.  That hip she had surgically repaired in 2013 is just not holding her up.  The vet agreed.  It is probably time.  

We are crying over here now.  No one wants to put Annie down, but again, it is probably time.
