Mr. Bubba has been showing his age quite a bit lately. He's insistently hungry all of the time. He has had a few accidents on the carpet after just coming in because he was too busy worrying about getting a morning snack to go potty. His eyes are cloudy and he's lost his hearing. He can't get up on his sofa, and has a very difficult time with stairs. He's very grumpy and doesn't want loves anymore. The other day he didn't know me when I came in.
I know that there is a prescription drug out there for dogs with cognitive issues, but we just don't have the money for the vet and the rx and the monitoring, etc. So I did some research on the web and found a supplement called Cholodin for older dogs and cats.

I thought "what the heck, I'll give it a try." He's only been on it two days, and already his eyes are less cloudy. Can you believe that? He seems to be hearing better, he's been snuggling with me like he used to. He went up and down the deck stairs with less trepidation than he seems to have had lately. I hate to get too far ahead of myself, but I'm really hopeful!
I will keep you all posted on how this goes. I only bought the small bottle, because I didn't want to throw away a bunch of money on something that doesn't work. But if things keep going well, we'll be using it for sure!
