This is a update from her pack on Gromit's health and her arthritis. On Friday we took her to see her veterinarian. We hadn't been taking her on many day trips since her arthritis had very much worsened over the past months and pain was obviously effecting her movements and she was already on her maximum dose of Meloxidyl. She was more like hopping around the yard than walking. The vet said she has arthritis in many of her joints which limits what we can do, but we could try another type of pain killer for her which we started her on that night. Good news is she seems to have a new lease on life, since her pain has been reduced.
Taken years ago, when Gromit pinned a hapless puppy. Socialized dogs are good to have around. |
We are all about them kids. We love them! |
And will play with anyone, even this puppy. |
She has always had been a winter dog and prefers the cooler, winter weather. She'd didn't want to come in. She says, "you should come OUT!" |
This is a puppy who in 2007 is being shown what water is all about. She's been swimming ever since, at least until her arthritis took its toll. |
