Sadie's not feeling good

[Cincy'sMom]

Not really sure what is going on with the Sadie girl. All 3 dogs went to day school last Friday and whe I picked them up, Sadie was pretty slow. Not unexpected, she is over 10 years old and that is a long day to play. She hasn't bounced back yet though. Every day she seems a little better, but her appetite hasn't come back which is the weird part. She is only eating about 1x per day instead of her usual 3.

We have a vet appointment for her today to get things checked out, so keep your paws and fingers crossed and through a few extra prayers Sadie's way.

Grandma here, Sadie girl you've got to start feeling better. You are scaring your mommy, daddy and me.

Amy, you know dogs can't tell us what is wrong - maybe she is just hurting from all the extra horse - I mean - dog play. Did Spotty stop limping? Hard to see our babies get old isn't it?

We'll be thinking and praying for you and Sadie girl. Let us know RIGHT away what the vet said.

Sorry to hear that Amy. Is Sadie older than Cincy? I thought Sadie was
the younger pup. I hope the Vet finds that maybe she just overdid it a bit
on exercise that day. I hope she feels better soon. Prayers for her Vet visit
today,

Sadie is older then Cincy. She turned 10 in October (Cincy was 9 in September, Spot 10 in August).

Not that there is anything easy when one of your dogs is sick, but is is extra hard this week becuase we have our Global Sales meetings going on at work, which means I am tied up in meetings from 7:30am-5pm with evening activities as well. Ralph is doing a great job caring for her, but 3 dogs is a challenge when you want to focus on 1 and the other 2 need attention as well. It also means I am 10-15 miles furhter away from home then I am at the office, and can't escape as readily at lunch to come home and check on them.

Is it also hard to explain to others (not PT people obvioulsy, but "others") why we are so concerned. She is not vommiting, she has no diarherra, she does what she is told, she goes to the window to see when the other dogs bark, she gets up and down from the couch and bed..... She just isn't eating as much, and she is acting like our Sadie.

Spot is not limping as much as he was this weekend, but with his arthritis he still does some. He starts his laser treatments next week, so hopefully that will help.

Awww, hoping it's nothing to be concerned about. Give them each a kiss from me!

Will keep good thoughts and prayers for Sadie's speedy recovery.
