Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Sharlene,
I think that it's a good sign that Molly is still interested in doing the things that she likes even though she can't right now. When they lose interest, is when you know that they're feeling really badly.

OW! OW! For your partner, we don't realize how much we use our thumbs until we hurt one. Poor guy.

Happy that hubby is doing better!

We're also expecting another 8 - 12 inches of snow beginning Wednesday night. This is getting ridiculous! We have nowhere else to put it and it's been so cold that none is melting to make room.

Can't wait til this horrible cold spell is over! The winter seems to be the worst time for our old cushings dogs. I know the low temperatures stiffens the joints and makes their arthritis twice as painful :(

Sharlene:
Please read my post and let me know what you think. I have tried so many different combinations with Tipper I am at a loss of what to do here. Dr. Bruyette must be busy, or maybe it is all the questions I asked that are holding him up. Hope Molly is having a good day. She probably loves you being home all the time with her. Blessings

So glad at least for now you can be home with Molly. Awww..poor girl feeling a little sad and sore. Glad the tail is a'wagging though!!
Did she have the laser treatment yet? Hoping it will make a difference and help her to feel better.

We're back, molly had her laser treatment and she is progressing nicely. She is now allowed to go up and down the one step going outside, but none of the stairs inside and no high up or down from furniture or window seat yet. The risk of a memory recurrence is too high at this time.
So, we'll keep restricting her from doing those things on her own for a few more weeks, till there is less chance of a reinjury. But it's looking good. She doesn't need any more anti inflammatory med or laser treatments. Now it's just not letting her do anything to rehurt it till her body can adapt and be strong again in her back.

Everyone was saying that she acted like she was at a doggie spa, stretched out, grooving to the treatment on her mat, eyes closed, just bliss. So that is good sign.

hugs all,
sharlene and molly muffin

way to go molly! be a nice girl and get better soon.

Molly:
You mean your mom doesn't realize you were really at the spa? You little diva you! Glad you are on the mend. Love Tipper

Sounds like a good report!! Of course the little princess stretched out and had some spa time...what else was she to do??? :D

;) Barbara

Hey Sharlene, I want to go to that place. Tell Molly she needs to move over on that mat because she's getting some company. LOL :D

I am thrilled that she's doing so well!:p xxxx
