Senior Boston Scratching Carpet

Hello Friends,

Our Baby Girl's (BG) health is declining! She is 14. Her cushings was negative but high liver enzymes, a sonogram showed little sludge in gallbladder, one of her adrenals is bigger than the other. Nothing operable. Vet switched her to RX food, low fat, and put her on Urisol.This has been the last few weeks. She has been having episodes of trembling on and off. She suddenly doesn't want to go to sleep at night. She stands at the bottom of the stairs and doesn't want to come. She finally comes up and then freaks out when she gets into bed with us. Almost panicky. These are all odd behaviors unlike her. The last 3 weeks she has been scratching at the carpet compulsively and so vigorously her nail beds are bleeding near her paw. Her nails have always been longer despite regular trimmings. Appetite and water intake are fine. She still likes to play and fetch like a maniac!

Any advice or has anyone else experienced this with their pup?

I'm so worried that her time is coming to an end. 😭

Picky eater

Anyone have experience/advice for a very picky eater? We have tried different kibble brands and flavors (slowly transitioning in between of course), mixing in a spoon fool of canned food (lamb, veggies, beef, bison, pumpkin puree) and of course the trusty ol’ sprinkle of cheese on top. No matter what, after a few days my guy will straight up refuse to eat. I’m against free feeding as that can lead to little to no poop schedule which we all know controls our lives. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😩 I get so frustrated when he goes 24+ hours without eating. Also- he has no problem eating foods he wants, i.e treats for going potty, begging for our food etc so I know it’s not because he’s unwell

What size ball does your Boston players?

I bought a chuck it with a regular size tennis ball. My pup can grab the ball just barely, but when I throw it for her to grab, she just runs up to and doesn’t grab it and run back.

I’m thinking a smaller ball she might actually retrieve because she could grab it without a 20 second grabbing fight.

What size tennis ball do y’all use?
