Even a thorough exam might require sedation. Incredibly strong and Olympic gymnast limber, any tests on Sweetie would require sedation. But she won’t even tolerate her temperature being taken-any restraints, any hint of touching her for a purpose other than adoration and she becomes a bucking bronco. Sweetie loves going to the vet, let me rephrase, Sweetie loves going anywhere. Was the kibble getting stuck in her esophagus? Was it just rotting in her stomach? We’d switched to the special food after not being able to get her tummy happy on an assortment of choices and textures. We were cleaning up an increasing number of liquid piles daily. So, my thoughts were definitely centered on the unknown pain potential that might be sucking at Sweetie’s joie de vivre -was this GI, or stomach issue, one that was causing more discomfort than acceptable? We’d already taken away treats, scraps, and random cookies with the special diet. I can’t stop my pain, but dammit I will intercede for someone I love. So my bias with the humans and the animals in my life is always a knee jerk toward comfort and pain management. Pain is a constant companion even when there’s a smile on my face. I’ll be frank-I’ve lived with a nasty nerve disorder in my legs since I was eighteen. Was this Sweetie’s best possible life? Was this the cancer reappearing in a new system? Was this something else? Were we on the road to letting go? There isn’t a way to take off the blindfold to the dog’s past, so we gather data, observe, intervene, and observe again.Īs December passed we posed questions to ourselves as we watched Sweetie’s behavior change. Especially, when they’ve been neglected medically. We meet them when intentionally, or unintentionally, they’ve been neglected. We meet them when their medical needs outstripped the desire, or the ability, of the humans in their lives. We don’t meet them at their prime, in their youth, in their dewy puppy years. We are blind, to what may, or may not, have been in a dog’s past as we go about the business of helping them have a present and a future. You see, pun intended, that fostering old dogs is a bit of its own Bird Box Challenge. Seriously…and yes, I promise this is applicable. There are now warnings from Netflix about driving, running around the house, and otherwise being blindfolded when you don’t have to be. Apparently, quite a few folks on social media have confused reality and fiction by blindfolding themselves, and trying to go about their daily lives-they call this a Bird Box Challenge.
Basically, humans try to survive by blindfolding themselves against seeing monsters. You may, or may not, have watched the Netflix film called, “Bird Box,” starring Sandra Bullock. She’d always had an issue with regurgitation and vomiting-but these were increasing as her joy diminished.
We didn’t have an intention of Sweetie’s story continuing quite so soon, but as December passed she lost some of her verve. This one’s for all of you who have spent hours in a vet waiting room and it’s also a wonderful example of the dedication and commitment Old Dog Haven fosters have to their dogs.
