Bugsy is one lucky dog!!

About a week ago I finally figured out what is causing Bugsy to limp on and off. We will get some hip x-rays soon (when we find a highly recommended vet to do it) but it appears to be a soft tissue injury. He likely has the beginnings of arthritis but I think the main issue is the soft tissue injury.
So why is he lucky? Well because he has very good friends.

One wonderful soul has sent him some liquid supplement (Synflex) for the arthritis, we started that last week and will have to see how that works out, he sure likes it! It was an extremely generous and thoughtful gift from his Aunt Annie - he owes her some 'sugars' for that!

Then today he received a package containing Wood Lock medicated oil. This is to be massaged in the sore area. When I let him smell the bottle he didn't look impressed. But I rubbed some in the general area of the sore area and he was super calm and relaxed. Then afterward he fell asleep. Deeply asleep. Must be real good!
In fact, he just came over and nudged the bottle, tail wagging so that seals it, it is good if he is asking for more.
So a big thanks to his Aunt Callie and a tip of the hat to the provider of the oil - Morningstar Health

This mixed up over-sized mutt is one lucky dog! Now if he would just be calm and let himself heal.
