We, my husband and I, have a 13 year old Bichon Frise named Snowball. He recently had an issue with his mouth and has now been diagnosed with lockjaw. He can not open his mouth at all and can not have the dental issue attended to. He is home with 8 syringe given medications per day as well as 4 drop’s applications to his right eye of medications. He also has to have his food pureed 3 times a day to liquify it. I was diagnosed with generalized MG in 2017 and receive Soliris every other week. I am using a scooter to get around inside the Independent Living facility where myself, husband and dog live due to extreme breathing issues with any exertion. My husband does most of the caregiving of Snowball, but now I have taken over the responsibility of administering all the meds while he purees food and feeds Snowball. It is very difficult as my arms are so weak and I also have to bend down to administer his medications. We will survive this time of our lives but are not sure about Snowball. The vet says she is not too optimistic. We can only pray we do the right thing at the right time if it comes to that. My husband is 86 and has his issues and I am 85 and he is my caregiver as well as the dog’s caregiver. Wish us well in this newest chapter of our pet life!
