And we're taking the dog in for an "emergency" vet appointment.

Started as being skittish about the stairs which was weird?

But then he had trouble going up the stairs, then getting on the bed, then getting on the couch

And then getting off the couch and the bed

And he didn't eat at all yesterday but did eat a bunch this morning

And he's been panting all day so... Vet time.

But no limping. Let's you touch him everywhere, doesn't act like anything in particular hurts...

And we've been sitting here 20 minutes past our appointment time, as is standard with our vey.

Vet even

This place is the worst but she was like the fourth vet we saw about dogs skin problems and the first to actually do anything about it

Vet thinks it might be lyme disease because they've had a stupid high positive rate in the area lately

Dog does not have lyme. Gonna try arthritis meds.
