Hi friends 🐾❤️

I wanted to share some news: my humans found out this month I've been diagnosed with pancreatitis. I know, big word! Here's the scoop:

🐶 What is pancreatitis?
• "Pancreatitis" means my pancreas (a small organ that helps digest food and regulate blood sugar) is inflamed - kind of like your throat when you get a sore throat, except it's inside me.
• When it flares up, I can feel pretty yucky: tummy pain, loss of appetite, maybe some vomiting or diarrhea.

🩺 My treatment plan
1. Low-fat diet: I'm switching to a special, easy-to-digest kibble or wet food that's very low in fat. This helps my pancreas rest.
2. Fluids & rest: Plenty of water (and sometimes a little extra fluid under the skin at the vet, if I need it) plus lots of naptime on my comfiest bed.
3. Medications: My vet may give me gentle pain relief and anti-nausea meds to keep me comfortable.
4. Regular check-ups: We'll keep an eye on my comfort levels and make sure I'm staying hydrated and happy.

📈 Prognosis for senior pups
• With early diagnosis and the right care, many older dogs like me do really well!
• I might need to stay on my special diet long-term, and my humans will watch my weight and energy levels closely.

Thank you all for the belly rubs, treats (the low-fat kind, of course 😉), and well wishes.

Lots of love and tail wags,
Bunter 🐾

Hi, friends! This old pup’s got a message: every sunrise brings a new chance to shine. What’s your spark this morning? ☀️ 🐾

30/01/2025

I went to my physical therapy and rehab appointment on Monday, where the doctor checked me over and helped with the problems I've been having from not being able to walk normally for the past several months. Ever since the surgery, my back has been sore, and some of my muscles have been working too hard to make up for the ones I haven’t been using properly. The rehab doctor was very gentle and showed my person a bunch of different exercises, stretches, and massage techniques to help me feel better. Some of them felt really nice, and I leaned into them, but others were a little weird—I wasn't sure what to think! They also talked about how to balance my arthritis medication while keeping my kidneys healthy, which I guess is important, even though I don’t really understand it.

The doctor said it would be best if I could come back in 6-8 weeks to see how I'm doing and get more hands-on treatment if I need it, but my person says we might not have the extra funds. That's okay, though—I trust them to help me at home with all the things the doctor taught them. (Apparently, the surgery didn’t cost quite as much as expected, so some of the extra funds went toward this rehab appointment, which I think was a good idea because my back really did need some help.)

After that, we went to see my surgeon to get my final bandage off. I wasn't sure about it at first, but they were gentle and very nice, so I stayed still. They checked my paw and said it still needs a little more healing, but as long as it doesn't get infected, my person can take care of it at home. Twice a day, they put a funny-smelling cream on it and then wrap it up in a soft cotton sock. I don't love it, but I tolerate it because my person says it's important. I really don't like that I still can't jump around, though—that's the worst part of all this! I just want to bounce and play again. Hopefully, soon. 🐾

Woof woof, friends! 🐾

Just a little update from me, Bunter:

I'm feeling a lot better—my limp is mostly gone, and my energy, appetite, and sass are back to full power! 💪🍖 But my back has been bugging me a bit (guess it didn't love my wobbly walk while I healed). My person is using some of the funds we have left to get me a visit with a physiotherapist soon to help me feel even better. In an ideal world, I'd go a few times, but we'll make the most of this one trip!

On Monday, the bandage comes off, and we'll see if I can go without it for good. Paws crossed! 🐾🤞

Thank you so much to everyone who's helped me so far—I wouldn't be here without your kindness and support. You're the best pack I could ask for! 🐶❤️

How I feel about the "no running" rule we still have while my foot heals: 😒

15/01/2025

Hi friends, it's me, Bunter! My foot was hurting, so my person took off the bandage to check on it. The good news is that my surgical wound looks okay—no infection! But some of the skin on my paw and wrist is feeling raw and irritated from all the shaving and the bandage. My person is helping make me comfortable while we wait to see the surgeon tomorrow—hopefully, I'll get these stitches out then! I'm feeling better overall and have my appetite back, but I still need to take a little sedative so I don't run around too much. Getting those snoozles so my paw can heal properly!

These last few days have been ruff. My tummy wasn't feeling good, and I didn't even want to eat—can you believe that? But my person worked hard to make me special meals and figured out my meds with the vet. This morning, I finally ate a big breakfast, and I even felt like scampering a bit! (But nooo, I wasn't allowed to.) Oh, and the vet said the lump on my paw wasn't anything scary after all. ("Benign"?) Phew!

03/01/2025

Hi friends, it's Bunter! I had my paw surgery today, and the vet humans said it went great. They got the whole lump, and now I just have to rest and heal. I'm a little wobbly from all the sleepy medicine, but I managed to eat a snack (very important) and now I’m snuggled up next to my person.

My person took a picture of me looking very out of it—how embarrassing! I promise I'll pose for a better one soon. Thank you for helping me get the care I needed—my tail would be wagging if I wasn’t so tired. More updates soon, but for now, nap time!

02/01/2025

Today's the big day, friends—I'm off to the vet for my paw surgery. I'm feeling a little nervous and it's scary being away from home, but my person gave me lots of kisses and told me so many people love me and are rooting for me. And the nice humans here at OREV, Specialty Vet Care are taking good care of me. Paws crossed for a successful procedure and smooth recovery! 🖤

Guess who got the all-clear from the doctor to get surgery on January 2nd to fix his paw? This dog!

Last week I had to go in and get my arm poked (blood draw) and then they put me on a table and asked me to hold still in strange positions (x-rays) but I'm so used to my people caring for my foot everyday that it didn't bother me a bit. They told my person I was easier to move around than sedated patients (thanks?) and that they wished everyone was as chill and bribable as me. 😌

My foot is getting worse so it's good I'm getting it taken care of soon. My people are doing all they can to keep me comfortable. 💜 Just got to make it one and a half more weeks!
