Sasha - HYPOTHYROID - Yes, it's true...

[Queen of Poop]

Sasha is going to see the vet on Thursday afternoon. She's suddenly started acting her age and I am concerned. No sickness, poops fine, not real interested in food, but never was she just acts real tired and old. I want to rule out anything wrong going on inside of her. If it's just old age I can deal with that. She's just not as perky as she's always been. We will be seeing the one and only vet she's ever been to since she's been my girl. He's close to retirement but still working day times. He is awesome and understandably very busy and in demand that is why we have to wait till Thursday. If she changes before then we'll fit her in as an emergency. If you could send her some good thoughts this week I'd appreciate it.

Awww, poor old girl. How old is she? Just curious. She'll be in our prayers.

When I adopted her from the Humane Society they said she was two. My vet disagreed and said one. So she is either 13 years old or 12 years old.

If she has suddenly slowed down it is a good idea to take her for a check up. Just to ease your mind. I hope everything turns out alright. Will keep positive thoughts going for that pretty girl.

She could just have a little bug or something. Good thoughts that she's doing just fine.

I just had a thought. I wonder if Sasha is mourning the loss of our last ferret Sebastian. She'd run from him, they weren't "buddies". But could she be in mourning? If the vet check comes back that she's fine maybe she is.

She could be picking up on your sadness too.

I have a 13 year old girl too. Somedays Sleet acts her age, somedays she thinks she's a puppy again. Somedays I look at her and wonder when the heck did Sleet get so old, I don't remember that happening!

I hope it's just age slowing Sasha down or just a bad day!

Well, looks like Miss Sasha is a hypothyroid doggie. She apparently has all the symptoms. Waiting on the blood test to tell us for sure. The vet is also running a canine geriatric panel to see if all else within is ok.

Give my love to her. I hope it's nothing serious. I've got a vet that will probably be retiring soon, himself. I hope Sasha will be feeling better soon.
