Default Re: An Arf-Arf Here and a Meow-Meow There... E I E I O!

A couple of days ago, Zsa Zsa started walking gingerly and stopped jumping directly up on the bed and stuff. I think she just twisted her leg or something, but her joints have been making clicking sounds sometimes, too, so I internetted about that, then we got her into the vet today to start her on Adequan, which seems really promising. It's a bit expensive, but she has health insurance*, so we're doing it. She's going to have to go in twice a week for four weeks, and then get maintenance injections at home, but it sounds pretty great.

She's about 13 now, which is pretty old for a 70# dog, but this is the first serious sign of aging she's had. (With her white face, the graying isn't obvious.) So if this stuff works, she can get back to her 24/7 party lifestyle pretty soon.

* There were several years when Zsa Zsa had health insurance and I didn't. #HASHTAGLIFESTYLE
