Rough time for my Golden pup this Christmas (lemmy.world)

I just need to vent...My heart is nearly broken

He's been in pain for over a week now. Different clinics and different explanations to what could be wrong...all pain medication dont seem to help.

Today our own vet got xray photos and other documentation and she thinks it's meningitis. He got a shot and he just got up to eat and drink for the first time today also went out in the yard and peed for like 30 seconds... I was so happy.

Really hope he's going to get better from this medication.

The photo is from a lovely rainy day in the forest a couple of months ago. Send lovely thoughts to my pup please. Thank you

Edit:

Thank you all for your words. It means a lot to me that so many reached out.

My pup had an ok night, at least he is stable, wants to go outside and do his business and wants to eat and drink.

Im hopefull about seeing some progress over the next days🙂

FWIW from a rando, I really hope he does feel better very soon. I'm sorry you're going through this, but I wish him a full and speedy recovery for the holidays. He's an adorable buddy.
