All of which is pretty amazing considering she was the product of careless and irresponsible breeding practices.
We did try her on cortizone about a year ago, but it didn't help her gain weight, and it made her incontinent. Poor girl would be sitting next to me, and suddenly lose control of her bladder...she looked mortified!
Since there were no benefits to outweigh the negative side-effects, I weaned her off of it. |
Gosh I wish something could be done
Not for her looks, but to ensure her a long and healthy life, ya know? You are truly a wonderful human being and Bug is fortunate to have you looking after her
