What would the long-term problems be?
I really want to avoid another incident like he has just had, being so ill with what appeared at first to be pain from his bad leg, then bloat. It really looked like we were going to lose him, and at one point my hubby even fetched me in from seeing to the outdoor buns as Floppy looked like he was leaving us .
I am stuck with the problem though, if I medicate him every day, I believe it will damage his body, and if I don't he runs the risk of another bloat episode due to pain.
The vet has always left it up to me as to whether he gets pain relief or not. They are quite happy for him to get it.
Just wondered what others would do? He doesn't appear in pain every day, although maybe he just hides it well from me .
