Hardly. Many of the replies I received here were of little or no
value, more directed at training a puppy than an adult dog. A couple
were useful (senility and meds) and I am following up on them.

Dismissing inapplicable or impractical suggestions does not make me a
troll, but if that's the reception I'm going to get, I guess I'll
stick with my vet.

Bye bye.
