Took Roxie to the vet today. They did some blood work just to make sure it wasn't something like Lyme Disease causing her issues. Blood work came back clear, but the doctor did a double take when he weighed her. She has gone from 6.75 pounds in March, to 7.7 pounds! He said it is most likely a result of her spaying, but that it could certainly be wreaking havoc on her bad knees. He suggested she not overexert herself for the time being, and that we get Dasuquin supplements. If she doesn't show signs of improvement, he said we may be looking at surgery down the road, which of course has me freaking out.
