I have two 8 yr old sisters, one is 18 lbs and the other is 11 lbs....big girls, they are! My heavier one has a luxating patella on one leg....the vet said if she lost a
couple of lbs, that would get rid of it. I can't get her to lose the wt...she's like me and likes to eat too much...hehe.....I have a knee that is bad too. Her and I have a lot of things alike! I am getting off track here.....she has had this bad knee for years. I give her 25 mg Rimydl daily.....she runs around very well....has adapted a different gait to make up for the malfunctioning leg. I couldn't afford the surgery.....she also has cataracts, which I couldn't afford to fix, either. But she has adapted to her lessoning sight, as well. It's too bad that surgery costs so much and they don't have blue cross lol |
