This is your dog on drugs…
Foster has been limping since around Thanksgiving and we thought it was just a normal doggy sprain, but it was getting worse, so…yesterday I brought him to the vet. He was too tense to examine, so we had to bring him back today to get drugged up so they could do an exam, x-rays, etc…. we picked up him 9hrs later- and this is his state of mind. He’s SO high, it’s kinda cute.
But poor Foster- has a pretty bad knee. He has bone spurs and arthritis. 
The good news is that it should just be some drugs….hopefully surgery will not be needed.
We’re hoping that the drug regime will help him- the vet said he must be in a lot of pain. Broke my heart! He’s been a little more depressed lately- but never would have guessed in pain SO he’s on pain killers and anti-inflamatory drugs for the next 2wks. Hopefully that will help him…. the kids are being SO nice to him. He’s suppose to have limited movement- so we’re trying to keep him contained to one level- which is challenging in a multi-level house, with a dog who’s smart enough to know how to open doors/doggy gates…. but he’s been doing a good job of being a couch potato 
Awww, poor baby!
