   Hello Janis!   
      
   ** On Sunday 21.05.23 - 11:16, you wrote to me:

   Yeah.. sad to know this.  Irreversable.  The animal is simply     
   progressing to death in a natural way.   
      
   My dog gradually but steadily lost the strength of his hind     
   legs until he simply couldn't stand up on his own or walk.      
   During that time, he also had loss of appetite and was losing     
   weight.  I believe I shared my google photo album of Monster     
   with you a few years ago.

   I did mean just a bit of peanut butter to get help with the     
   meds, but not in larger quantities or multiple times during the     
   day.  Glad to hear that the peanut butter helped.   
      
   I'd usually cut an empty plastic peanut butter jar in half and     
   let Monster enjoy cleaning out the little bit that would     
   remain.   
      
      
    JK> ...But the first reason I even called the vet was because   
    JK> she stopped eating - and she still isn't eating ...   
      
   Is she trying to lap up some water?  My dog eventually found no     
   joy in eating lying down.  He'd take a little bit of water but     
   not enough imho.  The photo of him on his last day before I     
   took him to be euthanized showed quite a bit of weight loss.   
      
      
    JK> Right now she's finished the antibiotics he gave me (thank   
    JK> god those are done), and she will get thyroid meds every   
    JK> day - it's a really small tab that I can slip in her   
    JK> mouth.   
      
   Hope those meds can relieve some discomfort for the dog.
