Update on Lilly

[Karen]

You have a good vet. You can tell him all of Pet Talk thinks so, next time you see him. Glad you got so many answers, and there's a plan for the future as well.

Our Gracie - black Great Dane - got those white circles around her eyes early, by age 5, looked even goofier on a black dog! And she lived well beyond anyone's expectations anyway.

What's funny is that when we met Alicia's golden girl Carina - she has NO white hairs, despite her "lack of youth."

Logan I am glad that the findings of your vet were not as bad as I had feared. With the three things all occurring at once I was really afraid that there was some strange *syndrome* about to be diagnosed, but I tend to leap into worry mode very easily, just ask my kids. I'm sorry that Lilly is having these problems at such a young age, but I know you will do all that you can to help that girl. Gosh, a heated bed sounds good to me too. I bet Butter is going to want to spend some time on that bed. I wonder what kind of pictures you will get to take with all of the furry ones clammering for a spot. Thank you for updating us. We hope she feels better real soon!

As much as I said, I failed to mention that Lilly has been taking a Glucosmine supplement, daily, for years. We will continue that while we research other supplements, in case there is something better to try.

Thank you for that information, Staci. I will add it to my list!

Sometimes it is a lot of little things that add up! Thankfully, two of the little things really are little things. Tell Lilly if SHE loses 13 pounds, I guarantee that I will lose 13 right along with you guys.

Having such a relationship with your vet doesn't surprise me Logan. "Good" people tend to find one another.

Gentle hugs to Lilly and the rest of your herd.

Just wondering how Lilly was doing now. I sure hope the intestinal upset has resolved itself and that she is having some good days with the hip.
