Update on Flash Man

As many of you know Flash has been having a lot of trouble lately and has been in and out of the vets office because of Panosteitis, which is a bone disease that causes his bones to calcify because of rapid growth. The pain comes and goes and usually doesn’t last more that a few days. This is something he should grow out of by January when he is full grown.

Recently he has had a very bad spell of pano  and has been in severe pain and barely walking for over a week. He is starting to do a little better. He is sleeping through the night, most nights, and is able to get up by himself and walk around a little bit. He still hangs out on his bed and looks very sad. It is so difficult to see him in so much pain, and Jason and I feel like we have a baby… being woken up by crying and getting up all through the middle of the night.We are hoping this will be over soon, but these spells can sometimes last up to a month or more. We will be glad when we have professor psycho pants back!
