Hello Everyone,
Well my girl has gotten old and the reports are beginning to come in that she is developing some problems. Guess I have been in denial all along.
Back in Sept the vet discovered a heart murmur and explained this will progress to cardiac heart failure eventually. I am to be more aware of things concerning her now. Such as she shouldn't be put in stressful situations such as boarding, (thank goodness we have a RV and she thinks that is her second home) so we can still travel. We shouldn't take her for such long walks as she will tire quicker. (So we got her a stroller, she loves going out) Her back left leg is full of arthritis and she falls over alot when she gets excited on tile floors.
This week she has been diagnosed with
Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome or Canine Dementia. I just thought she was getting old and stubborn so this was quit a surprise. I have been looking up a lot of info on this as the vet has suggested some medicine that may help. But the side effects are vomiting and diarrhea which is an on and off problem with Hanna to start with. So I'm not crazy about this idea and have been looking at alternatives.
I came across
Novifit and
it seems to have good reviews. Has anyone tried this product?
