Thanks. Yeah, we're working on it. She doesn't have great days, but she has some good ones where she's more active. Just six months ago she'd still chase a ball. Now she won't hardly get into a lope. So it's been quick, which makes us think it's more than just age.
We've been in contact with a couple of holistic vets over the past couple of days, hoping to get more solid answers. Right now we just don't know what's wrong. My wife has basically given up hope. I'm not wired that way and won't give up until I find out what's wrong and how I can best help her.
If we can get her to rebound and be without too much pain for the next year or so, I'll be delighted. Anything beyond the next year is bonus as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully we learn more this week.
Thanks again.
