I want to thank all of my many friends that have written asking about Bruno... Well, as you can see from the picture, the medicine may have some side effects. Actually, I think that although it's only been a few days, he's doing a little bit better. I got some prescription medicines (Anipryl and Selegiline), supplements- one for memory (with Apoaequorin), plus another with MSM, Glucosamine & Chondroitin, some Cannabis oil (THC free) to help with pain. Jeez- he's on more medication than I am!
All that being said, I'm optimistic. We live upstairs and when it comes time to go up, Bruno acts like he forgot how to climb the stairs... he just can't get started. Once he does, he's OK. So I figured if I put his leash on and gave it a gentle tug to get him started, he'd be alright... and it worked. The next time, I dropped the leash and he went up fine. I took the leash off and just put the collar on (he doesn't wear it in the house) and up he went. Now all I have to do is put on the collar and it seems to act like a cue that triggers his memory... damnedest thing I ever saw lol! But, like they say- whatever works.
So thanks again for all the comments from Bruno and my friends that asked about him... I really feel that it's going to turn out OK. A special thank you to my wonderful friend 
Well, after agonizing for an entire day over spending $44.95 on myself (when the vet told me $1500 for tests and several hundred more for meds- I didn't hesitate) I finally broke down and ordered a new pair of shoes. They came yesterday...
As you can see they're almost identical. The first pair was just over $100, so I got a great deal on the new ones- less than half... but I still didn't want to spend that much money on myself. Thanks so very much again for your concern for Bruno- he thanks you too! I'll keep you posted on The Bruno Report... God Bless and God Bless Steemit for making this possible!
