Last week it looked as though we were going to have to put Oscar to sleep.  He was in a lot of obvious pain and not acting like himself.  This typically wouldn’t be justification for having a beloved pet put down but it wasn’t the first time that this has happened.  Holly took him to the vet and we discovered that he had tweaked his back really badly.  The vet gave him a shot of what I can only imagine was liquid awesome and a few prescriptions: a pain killer and a muscle relaxer.  Since then, Oscar has been doing much better and has returned to his old, lovable self.  We were very grateful that our vet knew what to do to get him feeling well again.
