Riley turns 3 years old today!!!! I am trying to stay very positive under the circumstances especially today! Unfortunately today is one of the worst days he has had since being on the medicine. Riley woke up around 7 am and started scratching uncontrollably for a few minutes which is a long time. then he stopped and tried to lie back down and started scratching again. Finally he stopped and went back to sleep. He got up at 7:45 am and started the scratching again. There is really nothing I can do for him when he is doing this. He can't be distracted or stopped. I gave him a pain pill this morning after these two episodes and he is fast asleep.
I bought him several new toys for his Birthday hoping that he might actually want to play with 1 of them but he doesn't play at all anymore. He really just eats and sleeps and goes out occasionally. I do think the weather plays a large part in Riley's discomfort. This is the second straight day of rain so maybe that is the reason for his pain right now. We go back to the Dr. in another 10 days but will call him before if this continues.
We will celebrate Riley's day today. I am so thankful that he is my puppy and that he is here with me.
