Thank you, sorry, I was rushed earlier. I think his brighter self is because he seems to be in a lot less discomfort. He is getting around easier. I hope you are finding the same. I'm pretty amazed at the difference.

I am cheating right now folks, as I am just copying a reply from another post, I hope you don’t mind...😉
Everypawdy is doing great here! We have had Spikey, our 19yr old cat on CBD for close to two months now and he is doing fantastic on it! He is far more comfortable looking and he is sleeping more soundly. He is still King of the house enough to tell visiting puppies to back off and stay away from bugging an old man! He has is hungry all the time and is gaining weight little by little! Dr Laurie got to see him last week and is super impressed with his body weight and at how well he did at the vets! (It was so lovely to have the opportunity to meet our new vet with Dr Laurie doing the introductions!)
Unfortunately for Spikey, he has had to go in to the doctors (we got to meet our new vet, Dr Amber!) for a sore bottom. We got urine straight from his bladder and Dr Laurie did some tests and thankfully, there was no sign of infection! He did so very well! After getting all the swelling down from around his penis, we have discovered that He has a tiny lump and we are going in again today to see what it may or may not be...Stewie was started on his program on May 8th and the best way for me to explain how well he is doing, is to explain that we have just had a house FULL of 4 Dawgs, 4 Catssss and 5 people! He played, he protected, he taught lessons to a puppy and he came down to the beach with us on the first day. And then just relaxed when we were away from him. He had no set backs what so ever. No stiffness of his neck and is sleeping soundly! As some of you know, Stewie has over done it in the past and has been crippled up for two to three days at a time. Not this time! There is another puppy we went to see on Monday, a very bossy Pitbull/Husky cross and with a little guidance from me, he did fantastic and the other dog got bored with bugging him and all was fine within no time at all!
Our new vet has been made aware of the doses that we are working on with both of our special fur babies and is thankfully, behind us all the way!
Much Ruvin from Smoochable Stu, Spitfiring Spike, Chester McCool, Pretty Miss Lily and Bondage Ted (hehe, we have a new blue jacket for him for when he goes outdoors. Mr Purrrrrkins has one just like it and highly suggested this particular brand as it is super comfy and safe for Catssss Ted loves it!)
Remember...“live in the moment!“ 
This is awesome news. I am glad everything is going good for Stewie. Keep us informed how it continues to work for you.

PS Extra chin scratches to Spikey for good luck
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Thank you Sally!
Spikey did brilliantly at the vets and was an absolute gentleman with Dr Amber! I was completely impressed! She assured me that is bottom is all healed up, but the tiny lump is still there... We are not doing a biopsy on Spike, so we are just watching and seeing! Because Spikey liked her so much he may not mind going in for a blood test in a couple of months! She was really happy with what she saw in the old man!
Stewie sends sloppy kisses to Freakin Handsome Franky and Merry Nurse Myrtle and lots of Smoochin to you!
How are your gorgeous babies doing? Have I missed any updates?
Lots of love to you Sally!
And guess what you guys Dr Amber Ruvs Catssssss And she does housecalls for the purposes of Euthanasia!!! I realize that sounds morbid to some people, but a lot of you know how much this means to me!!!
Ruv ya!
