#not asking for medical advice here. as a disclaimer. #but my elderly dog is showing hallmark signs of joint pain / arthritis and it makes me so :( #we cant afford emergency vet and the normal vet is booked out for a bit so in the mean time hes just getting a comfy cozy day with mom #and be carried around everywhere gingerly #and some vet approved joint supplements and such to try to help him out until the vet can see him #having a bunch of little old men as pets is stressful ngl #i realized the other day too that my crested gecko is elderly too now #so 3/4 of my vertebrae having pets are old men #like :( i dont like having all of them be old #and two of them having sore joints :( #what if i wanted my boys to be young and spry and live forever smh #im kidding im ok with mortality its just. sad to think that these three may very well pass in a short time frame close to each other #the gecko might not though. hes ~11/12 which means he could have like. 2-10 more years in him #rome too for that matter. he could pass away today. he could pass away ten years from now. u just dont know! #unlikely that hes around in ten years tho #im guessing hes going to see his 30s though. or at least get close to it #anyways tldr im sad about my old men and want them to feel better
