What a wonderful welcome from all!
Thank you all so much!
Aside from our need to be trained to train our sweet pooch, we have health issues to deal with ... and I am so happy that I found this site!
I saw Cookie's xray's for the first time today ... no matter how much I "know" that she has this human-inflicted HP, I just burst into tears when I saw them.
Imagine a grape compared to an egg ... that is what her right hip ball is like - looks like it is not even touchng the socket
. Her left is almost as bad.
The growth plates definately closed too early from her long confinement in that dinky crate.
Oh how can people be so cruel ?????
... get a 'cute puppy' and, gulp, sigh, oh my
It is so nice to be in here ... with people who love their beasts.
Thanks for being there - all of you - thanks!
(the vet told me 'no' to the vitamin c because dogs produce it themselves and it could cause crystals ... she told us to keep going with the glucosomine and primrose ... and we have a 'script for anit-imflamatories (sp?) for when it gets really sore. Even though your kind words are not for our dog I am touched and, well, thank you so much for caring to share
)
