    Commenters - please be understanding that Jamie is navigating care for Sherpa. The vet process may be different than what you experience. Jamie is a stellar pet owner and is doing all the right things.

    Jamie you never have to apologize for swearing 🤬 because we all feel your pain when it comes to Sherpa's well being. You also never have to apologize if Sherpa has a toilet accident because we all know that Sherpa is elderly and can't help himself sonetimes. Jamie you and Sherpa are forever in my thoughts and prayers. I have been watching your channels since 2019 and i have absolutely fallen in love with Sherpa and i am very fond of you as well Jamie. I am sending huge hugs and kisses too you and Sherpa,Jamie. Take care. Much love. ❤️ ❤🫂🫂😘😘🐺🧔

    The absolutely right decision to call the doctor. Something seems to be blocking him or his back and thus weakening his legs.😢
    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the doctor can help Sherpy quickly.
    All my positive thoughts are with you. It's an absolute rollercoaster to see him like this and heartbreaking.
    Oh buddy, you are a strong boy and can overcome this hurdle.
    I wish you an absolute speedy recovery.💙

Better than bottling it all up, my psychologist often takes me outside in the garden of the practice if I feel the need to scream all my frustrations out, honestly it does help to relieve your stress, so do it if you feel like you need it!

    Bless you both. My little 13-year-old dog had an accident last night. It is not an embarrassment so much as it is disheartening. As they get older, we worry more. With him "running in his sleep," you can see that there is still stimulus in the back legs, but the strength is not there. Swear, cry, throw a fit, or whatever. We love you, Jamie, and we love Sherpa. You are not alone. I'm still praying for you both. Hugs and prayers from an old lady in Texas.

So much can affect pain levels esp weather. 2 months ago I had an abscess somewhere embarrassing, even with 3 hospital stays and crying in sheer agony with some morphine relief, it took being discharged and an emergency dr appointment to get antibiotics. Never felt such horrendous pain so I truly do feel for you both. Lots of hugs 🤗🤗.

    My sweet doggie acted the same way and couldn't get up. I thought it was her arthritic hip dysplasia again. She suffered with that her whole life and has episodes where she couldn't walk. But on one episode l, I took her to the vet and she actually had severe pancreatitis. She would rally and pull through a few times until her body just couldn't anymore. The last time, she gave up. She let me know she was done and refused to eat or drink even when I fed her with a syringe. I wasn't ready to say goodbye but knew it was time. I called Lap of Love here in the US, and a kind vet came to our house to help her go to sleep forever in her own bed, surrounded by love one year ago. I still cry every day.
    I am so sad for you and Sherpa, but I understand your pain watching his ups and downs and the reality of what may be near even if he rallies again this time. It's tearing me up too and I've never met Sherpa. I'm very sorry you are going through this.😢

I have the harnesses and everything. Both girls were treated with acupuncture which provided incredible extension of life with no issues till the end. I am curious about pancreatitis is it diagnosed via blood work? My boy needs a good round of blood work done to see how everything is doing. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Losing them is like a pain unlike any other. 😢❤

      @@seabreeze7378 Yes, blood work will show pancreatitis. It's apparently extremely painful. She would lay on her tummy with her back legs tucked underneath, often on the cold kitchen tile. It's very difficult to know where their pain is coming from sometimes. I had a harness for her too and used an old sheet to diy a makeshift lift for her back end to help her potty. The dysplasia was adorable when she was a puppy and I didn't understand that her bunny hopping was a sign of future trouble in her hips. Still, despite all of her health issues, I wouldn't have traded her for a 'perfect' doggie. She was my best friend.

Long story short I realise it’s too much exercise. She’s now on CBD oil and has a little walk daily but a couple of longer walks weekly and is as bright as a button. She’s back to chasing balls and tossing toys around. Sherpa became lame after hydro. Perhaps he’s just not recovering as easily now he’s older. Just a thought.
