She is eating today, but walking so slowly with her head down. I fed her in bed this morning, then Mr. Granny carried her outside to go potty. If it's arthritis, the Rimadyl should work. He doesn't want her to take it every day though, only on "bad" days. We did build her a ramp so she can easily get in and out of bed, but she is very tentative about the two steps down from the house to the patio. Poor baby is only going to be six years old in 2 weeks, so her old age years don't look very promising as far as her health goes.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861682310862793310.post-8701243030701059442014-01-03T10:52:05.050-08:002014-01-03T10:52:05.050-08:00Does she have arthritis?

She's on some antibiotics for that, but he also gave her an injection of an anti-inflammatory. It was about an hour after the injection that she was acting normal again. He gave me a few Rimadyl tabs, so I gave her one last night and will dose her again today. We'll see if that helps. I hope so, she was feeling pretty bad last night. <br /><br />Brrrr. We had one night that was -15 with wind chill factor, but the lowest actual temperature was 4F. Now we are being plagued with freezing fog. We went out of town yesterday, not realizing how bad the fog was just 10 miles out of town, and I fought icy roads and poor visibility the entire trip. I'm stiff as a board today from tensing up while driving 120 miles under those conditions!

Poor Annie! Did they find something wrong with her or just charge you and say they couldn't find anything? As for temps, Monday our high will be 5 below zero!langelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890043518879123806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861682310862793310.post-43735854743337932292014-01-03T05:12:39.450-08:002014-01-03T05:12:39.450-08:00I agree.

Our son, John, nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning two days before Christmas because someone was careless where he works. He is still having problems, so not out of the woods yet. We had a $180 vet bill for our Annie on Monday. she seemed fine for the next two days, now she's showing signs of being sick again. I haven't been warm since the temp dropped below 70F. Bah.

I know it isn't the same as being with your kids enjoying their presents and that just plain stinks. I hope that the new year brings much happiness for your family.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555452421297088756noreply@blogger.com
