How to Take Care of a Pet



Cute cartoon!

But I wonder about the part about getting your pet his check-ups. The vets wield a double-edged sword with their drug prescriptions. These days, I think Sparky is having drug issues with Torbutrol, the drug that is most effective at controlling his coughing, but which is an opioid, and can cause hallucinations and mood swings.

Sparky has been running around the house by himself at 4 a.m., barking and yelping uncontrollably, and playing with his Daffy Duck toy. It's clear he's TOTALLY WIRED! But by 7 a.m., he's crashed. He lies on the floor in an exhausted state and resists any interaction.

Poor puppy! But whatever keeps him going.....
