Well everyone, It's Tracy Bartlett
It is with tears in my eyes that I finally bring the sad news new.
A couple weeks ago Roo started having trouble walking. He would stumble and fall over, he wouldn't be able to stand for long, and he had to be carried most times up and down the stairs to go potty. We took him to the vet, and they tried some antibiotics, and pain killers, but he just continued to decline. They said it could be a parasitic infection(brain), or the results of his Lyme's disease, but there wasn't much we could really do. A few possible treatments were several thousand dollars, but financially out of reach.
So after careful thought, and the help of our vet, we decided that his quality of life would just continue to go down.
Friday, July 15, 2022, we took him to the vet for the last time. Barb and I were with him to the end.
After this post I will probably not make anymore here.
Thank you all for following us on our adventures.
Love, Tracy and Roo the Dawg.
