It's so hard to watch our furbabies getting up in years. But just like us humans, sometimes they need a little help and sometimes medication, to makes them more comfortable, their lives happier and healthier. Sounds like you have a good vet there, one you and Disney can have confidence in. The arthritis medic. should help a good deal and I know of several doggies that have been helped a lot by Anipryl, too. Take it a day at a time and try to think positive. Disney, you had a big day sweetheart and were such a good patient I'll bet you're pooped! We're all so proud of you Sleep well tonight precious baby girl.
