Rustyroo Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Appointment with the vet already made. Franny goes in tomorrow at 4:00pm. I'm not sure if all three are related or not. I'm pretty sure the panting and limping are. The panting has been going on for a couple of months, the limping started this morning. She is 12 so this doesn't surprise me, but makes me sad and worried. I lost my other two to osteo at 12 and 13 1/2. Both of the boys broke their legs at home and they didn't give me any signs that anything was wrong until it happened. I'm trying to avoid that for my baby girl. I hope it's just arthritis, but now that she is limping, I'm worried. Please send good thoughts for my Franny girl.

Rustyroo Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 No cancer! I'm so relieved. She has arthritis in her lower spine. She is on Tramadol to control the pain. She has had two doses and seems so much better already. Thank you for all the good thoughts.

juliemac Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Oh thank goodness!! I hope the tramadol works for you ... you're familiar with some of the side effects (panting, pacing) that can happen with Tramadol, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeylasMom Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Great news! Lots of holistic options to treat the arthritis too. You might try a natural anti-inflammatory like Curcumin and fish oil is fantastic for arthritis.
