Floralynn's dog needs help

floralynne wrote:
Maggie, my golden retriever is over 10 years old. For the past 9 days, she has been lethargic and she struggles to stand. She refuses all food, except for some Frosty Paws treats (she even rejects her regular treats) and water. I saw the vet on Tuesday and he said he thought that she had arthritis, so he gave her Metacam--an antinflamitory. She is not getting better. She'll come outside with me, but it's all such an effort--she pants heavily. Has her time come? How do I know? I'll see the vet tomorrow, but this is so hard. FL



I am sorry to hear you are going through such a tough time. I thought I'dmove your question and hopes others might see it. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Floralynne-

I'm so sorry to hear about your girl, she will let you know if her time has come. Sadly we have all been through this but time proves to be a great healer. I wish you all the best.
