Buffy

Buffy went to the vet today as I was concerned that her tail had been hanging for a few days, she yelped when I touched her in a certain spot, and she wasn't trying to get on my lap as she normally does. My vet, also a doggy chiro who does acupuncture, checked her over, did the back,neck check and found nothing except for the blood test which showed she was dehydrated. Everything else checked out OK, even her congestive heart failure. She just yelped twice last week & hasn't this week but I was afraid to go thru the long holidays without her being checked. My vet said right now there was no reason for her to have a chiro treatment but to report back to her on Monday. She suggested putting broth in her drinking water to get her to drink more and this has proved a big success! Sally: She went to the vet in that beautiful soft coat you and Tilly sent her and several people commented on it. The vet assistant wants some in Boxer size but I told her I had no idea where it came from. It was certainly appreciated this morning. She seems kind of weak and disoriented and has trouble getting up the steps & when she goes outside, she just stands there for a while like she's trying to think why she's there. I imagine she's a bit senile but oh so very precious.

I'm glad she is doing well, and hopefully that broth helps more!!

Poor little soul. Joanne--I've used Anipryl with pretty good success with my senile dogs. Not cheap, but does help with the "ditzys"
