Hexay was taken to the Vet this afternoon. She was examined by a very nice Veterinarian while an assistant pet Hexay and gave her treats.

Hexay was weighed, wow, she weigh 104.3 pounds!!!! Man, no wonder my back hurts from bathing her, brushing her, & helping her get up in the morning.

We waited for the x-ray results, which disclosed mild dysplasia, but, no evidence of arthitis, except for a small area in her left leg, left foot.


We were advised to give her Synovi G3 Soft Chews. , combining Glucosamine, MSM, Creatine Monohydrate, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Antioxidants, Vitamins and Minerals. Initally giving her the required amount for her size and weight for the first 4-6 weeks, then, then, maintaining it with 2 each day there after.

Of course, no more table scraps, at all, not even a bite from our table. She will eat 2 cups per day.

Hexay is a very gentle and loving dog. she will occasionally beg by whining, and then yelping louder if I she doesn't get my attention. I have massaged her at these times , giving her a belly rub and hugs, lots of hugs.


She is doing better and better each day, and now that she has been seen by a Vet, I feel so much more at ease while caring for her.

I will add some other " items" to her diet, slowly. Like Salmon, skinless chicken, etc.
