Maxie is 13 years old..last January he had 20 teeth removed(His previous owner never took him to get a teeth cleaning) so he had a lot of rotten teeth which could not be saved which is why he is on wet food..doesnt stop him from eating anything though LOL. He has neck, back, and hip issues(As most shih tzu’s do) in February he had a scary event, his neck got messed up I guess from jumping off the sofa too much, was so worried about him, he took prednisone for a week and he got all better but the Vet said no more jumping, and to be put on a doggy diet since he was a little overweight, now he’s around 12 pounds..such a good pup..only have him left since we lost Nemo last year(Pomeranian, we guess 15-16 years old..had trachea collapses issues which eventually turned into heart failure/pulmonary hypertension) he lived 6 months with that..we all miss Nemo everyday, even Maxie still does they were very close
It’s hard to lose a beloved pet. Our little mini dachshund is winding down. He’s my husband’s little buddy, but he’s preparing himself for his loss.
