We're Here - Two Words

Oops... it was supposed to be a two-word sentence. Sorry!

This was a rough day. Spot's breathing got so loud and labored, I was sure she was going to die. A lot of us were in tears when I snapped this photo. We took her outside, and after an hour or so her breathing calmed down and she slept. We stayed outside with her until long after dark.

Today we took her to the vet. Spot's liver isn't doing well, and her kidneys show signs of trouble also. The vet says he's been seeing a lot of dogs her age with liver and/or kidney problems. He thinks that Spot may have had liver damage from the the dog food tainted with malamine years ago, but she could live with decreased liver function as a young dog. Only now we are seeing the damage as her liver function diminishes with age. He gave her a supplement that he's had some success with, and an anti-inflamatory for her arthritis. She seems a lot happier now.
