She does have arthritis in her spine, her front and back legs/hips. She is on cosequin for that. We let her sleep with us, she spent most of the night curled up on a heating pad (on lowest setting). She wasn't as grumpy last night as she was last weekend when she slept with us. She is still moving very tenderly, but I think part of that is her arthritis. I am looking into Zeel and Traumeel which are holistic remedies for pain & arthritis. I think she is feeling a little bit better today, I did not give her any pills this morning. She isn't hiding and actually let my cat Mini Dee clean her. For the last week or so she has been super grumpy and growling and hissing at Mini when she lays by her, so I think this is a good sing. Her appearance is still rough looking but she looks more alert and better today. Her stools are back to normal. Right now she is just getting the Miralax. We may add the Cisapride if the Miralax doesn't work on it's own, but so far I think it is.
Here's a picture of Mini Dee cleaning her and then one of them snuggling together, DeeJay is the one on the left in the first picture and the right on the 2nd picture.
What a beautiful and touching testament to the love animals have for each other!!!
