Yes, I know that. But note that the story says the dog collapsed. That tells me that the dog’s will might be there but the body ain’t. The next time he collapses from exertion he won’t be brought back.
Oh, I know!
We are afraid to give our boy anything stronger than meloxicam because if he feels too good, he will jump and run and likely tear his patellar ligament, which is already stressed. But we had a complete blood panel done last year and he is in great shape, otherwise.
It is just so hard to keep a working dog at rest.
