Folks I don't know what to tell you concerning Old Fella's continuing health problems? I guess it's like any old person, there are going to be good days and bad days, you just hope the good days out number the bad days.
Our trip to Branson for the Old Fella Rally has come down to the fact Suzie will have to stay home. She continues to have problems with being car sick if she is not on medication. She can't have water or anything on her stomach, she does well if that is the case, but she throws up regardless of medication if she drinks or eats. I just can't see not giving her water over a 10-12 hour period while we travel and it will take us almost two days to get there. Stopping at the rest areas and taking a break would cause her to become thirsty and in need of water and Fella requires the two of us to get him about as one has to support him as the other tries to walk him on the leash. Putting him in the camper requires both of us as he has to be lifted into the camper.
I get stressed out just thinking about leaving Suzie for ten days in the kennel and putting Old Fella through the stress of the trip. But anyway I have made up my mind that this is the best way to handle the situation.
