Dogs at Gaston's

Check with your vet. There's a canine version (ascriptin?) that may be better than the baby asprin.

The vet wanted me to cut back on Jake's two adult 325mg aspirins a day - due to concerns about stomach troubles - but said there was no point in baby aspirin. The vet insisted on buffered aspirin.

I tested and observed per the vet and Jake shows some slowness and stiffness in his caboose if I stop the aspirin. He'll get one each night.

I had prescription Metacam for Pancho but it's expensive and I don't think it works any better than aspirin. Sorta like prescription Celebrex vs. Naproxen (where the last story says over the counter Naproxen is safer.)

15 days to go, Mike! I had thought that Nikki would not make another Gaston's... but she has surprised all of us including her oncologist. See you both soon!

Good to hear. Nikki is a great dog (not as wonderful as mine, of course, but who's counting?). I hope the trip is enjoyable for all.

We pick up our new puppy this weekend, airplane willing, and who knows, maybe she'll show up at Gaston's too.

Ken, would be great to see you at Gaston's this year!

Jake is warming up his kisser for y'ouse.

(Yeah. His caboose healed up real fine.)

Wish I had a sociable doggie, but V-Rat thinks it's her sworn duty to eat every other dog, no matter how large.
