Jasper (12 yr old Mini Schnauzer) is now at peace

This deserves a separate post from all the update stuff - Today is Jasper's 11th Birthday!!!! I took the day off from work again to spend with him, and like last year, no cleaning, errands or internet. I feel this is the only way I can try to make it special for him since he can't have any special treats to eat.

We had a lovely day, he spent the day playing with his sister, snoozing, watching movies and of course snuggling on the couch. He had just turned 8 when we started this journey, hard to believe it has been almost 3 years. I am so proud of him with all he has been through and continues to endure, my strong little Bubba.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PRECIOUS BOY!!! :D :) :D :)

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo

Hi Sharlene,

Darn that UPC! So sorry Molly is having this issue too. My vet has not mentioned an ARB yet, and honestly, I don't know if it would be an option for us due to the potential for the potassium increasing. I think I read that this is more of a possible issue with ARB's than ACEi's. For Jasper this would be a huge factor because of his Addison's. The Percorten injection that he gets monthly is to keep his electrolytes stable, including excretion of potassium.

Going to get caught up on Molly now.

Happy 11th Birthday Precious Jasper!!! I'm glad that Mommy got to stay home and smother you with love and attention today. Such a special treat for our special boy! :p:p:p:p:p

Happy Birthday sweet Jasper!!!!

PS, I took the liberty and changed his new birthday age on his thread, hope that was ok.

Happy Birthday Jasper!

Happy 11th Birthday, Jasper!

Oh HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me, too!!!! :) :D :) :D :)

It's so good to hear from you, Tina, and especially grand to get to help celebrate sweetie-pie's birthday! :p

Wish I could be more help re: the UPC, but I think you and Sharlene are really leading the way for the rest of us with everything that you are experiencing and learning (although I know you'd rather NOT need be an expert about this! :o).

Anyway, it sounds like you had a perfect "Jasper Day," and today is Friday, so the weekend is not far away.

Sending tons of warm wishes to all three of you,
Marianne

Happy Birthday Jasper
