brucey

so brucey is officially 19 years old this month
we had to take him to the pet emergency because he hadn't stopped coughing for 2 days
he has a collapsed trachea
congestive heart failure
bronchial infection
 he is now on heart medicine, for life, steroids, antibiotics and a coughing tab
 he is actually doing really well, he can no longer wear a collar, only a harness, if we do exercise him, which we can't for a while. he has to have his food dished elevated, so tony's dad built one.
he is more energized than before, which is good, because his lethargy was not due to old age, but his heart, which was incredibly enlarged. we are so lucky we got him in when we did. i could not imagine what i would do to loose him like that. i would be a freaking mess of insanity.. but he is doing great...
