My heart is breaking for her. She was in so much pain. When I got her home Friday night (1am) she wasnt able to stand on her back legs too long, she kept falling over. She has no hair on her back and pimples with dark pigment spots. The vet told me she thought she had cushings, Patellar luxation, and maybe a dislocated hip. We only did bloodwork- she was too sore to xray. The vet gave me pain meds for her. She slept in her bed and would not move. I took her bed and sat with her on my deck on Saturday and just kept looking at her. Saturday night I came on here and seen the thread from Willies Mom regarding cushings. My gut was telling me that is NOT what she had- poor nutrition, maybe thyroid was what I was feeling. Sunday mid morning she was actually walking around and giving her paw. Looking at the paperwork from the shelter we discovered they gave her every shot possible on Friday before we got her-rabies, kennel cough, all routine shots, wormer-everything. I was so mad. I am thankful she survived it. By yesterday afternoon, my gut was telling me duh- that is why she was in pain from shots and arthritis. Her bloodwork came back this morning normal. Sorry such a long post, but I am so thankful we rescued her.

All I can say is thank you!!!
