Where have I been???? I can't believe I missed all of what you have been going through, Sandra. Not that I could add anything, but best wishes for you babies. Why didn't I know you lost your cat? I may have been living in a fog the last few weeks, but I am SO sorry. As many times as we have e-mailed, I just never realized it. I have an extra (aka Butter) if you want one! Just teasing. Butter is now a part of our family, even if he is a holy terror. I actually think he is good for Mimi.
Please keep us up to date on Cody and her progress. As you know, Lilly is taking Etodolac as needed and I haven't given her any in a week (YEAH!!!!). I have changed the food for Honey and Lilly to Flint River Ranch, but we probably haven't been on it long enough to know if it makes a difference. I know one thing, they don't eat as much of it and they absolutely love it! I am using it, along with the Once Upon a Dog, as treats and they gobble it up. I feel good having them eat this healthy diet. I have also been supplementing Lilly's food with an essential fatty acid liquid that was recommended by that holistic doctor I mentioned to you earlier. I swear their coats look 100% better and if it helps Lilly's hips, so be it.
I keep Lilly's exercise to a minimum (I mean that I don't let her exercise too hard. She loves to walk), so I have to watch her weight carefully. Honey is just enjoying the benefits of Lilly's new diet! They are both happy, and behaving pretty well too. Lilly got to go to basketball practice for an hour last night, and although she didn't get to practice her "Air Bud" moves, she loved all the attention she got from parents and kids.
Enough, Enough. Just wanted you to know I feel your pain. You are getting great suggestions. Keep us posted on how she does.
