King and Molly are just about 13.5 now. Molly has major hip issues at this point, some sort of neuropathy going on in her back legs, and has the "old scrawny lady" look. She gets around ok, but occasionally has an "accident" and suddenly drops a bomb, usually at the worst times. Once, she plopped one on the back seat. King practically jumped into the front seat of the car to get away from it. She was mortified.
King gets around fine, at least until yesterday. I don't really know what happened, but I was about to leave for work and was giving him his Cushing's meds, and he did the "I'm dead" routine, which is pretty normal, but afterwards, he refused to eat his frosted mini wheats, his "bribe" for taking his pills without a huge hassle. Him refusing food was a shock, it's been a long time since he has done that, and mini wheats are a lifetime favorite. It was a common thing in the past to refuse food at times though. When I came home in the morning, he was eating, but there was none of the grabbing that he's been doing for the last 3 years or so. He was better tonight, grabbing mini wheats out of my hand, but he's still not acting right. He's acting like something hurts somewhere, walking kind of slow and stiffly. If he's still "meh" in the morning, it's off to the vet. I just rang up a $400 bill for their vaccines, his Cushing's test, and heartworm testing. I can't get a break lately.
