I’m so sorry. We were totally heartbroken when it happened to our Boo. He was only seven years old and it was an awful shock when he was diagnosed.

Two of my dogs are on Gabapentin for arthritis and hip dysplasia and it does improve their comfort level quite a bit. The dosages they are on are not high enough to sedate them - they have their normal amount of energy and enthusiasm for life and aren’t the least bit sleepy or dull from the med. Bone cancer pain is a different story - that pain is so severe. We had a lab with osteosarcoma and high doses of Gabapentin didn’t even touch the pain.

Depends on the breed and the person. I have two pairs of brother/sister littermates, Aussies (who are now 3 y.o.) and labs (who are now 5 y.o.). Littermate syndrome has not been a problem. In fact, having littermates has been nothing but a positive and joyous experience for us. I actually think that having that sibling bond has been of great benefit to the dogs. However, I am a very experienced dog person. My life has literally revolved around dogs and horses (many of them with complicated medical and behavioral issues) for my entire life. So the work of caring for two puppies does not faze me at all. Would I recommend it for the average person? Nope. And there are certain breeds that I would never get two of - like GSDs or Catahoulas, for instance. I also know many other people IRL and in my dog groups that have sibling pairs and have not had any problems.

Dessert - Pomegranate arils and a Sumo orange.

I watch while I'm working in the kitchen.

I don’t have any advice on possible medical issues, but if satiety is a problem, add fiber. Fiber is more satiating than protein or fat, and most of the foods you listed are pretty low in it. Foods that are rich in fiber include beans and legumes, whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds. Good luck and I hope he is feeling better!

Mine is a Paderno. I looked on Amazon, but the model I have is no longer available (I bought it in 2015 for $33). It is similar to the second link in OP's post.
