Pray for Hunter

This is Hunter our soon to be 10 year old 1st baby.  He is having a lot of pain and problems in his hips.  As you can see he is a big boy and this doesn't help.  He has been to the vet for blood work, x-rays, and very expensive medication.  They had to give him general anesthetic just so they could get the x-rays and blood work.  The verdict.... severe arthritis.   He is on two different medications.  He is harder than the kids to give medicine to.   If that wasn't enough I had him outside all day yesterday, because we had unseasonable warm weather (50's) and I went out to check on him and his face, nose and eyes were swollen.  It wasn't the medication because he has been on it for a while.  I think something bit him.  I called the vet and I gave him benadryl.  His face is much better today.  The swelling has gone away and he is now just sleeping off the benadryl on my kitchen floor.  Please say a little doggie prayer that the medication works for his pain.  Thanks
