My eight year old lab is having a bad evening, she spent the day in the clinic being tested for whatever is wrong with her. I thought she had blown out her knees, but is seems all her joints are giving her trouble. $3300 so far and still don't have an answer, but today's tests should be back from Colorado State University in a few days.
Guesses run from some Cancer to an immune system problem.
Poor girl never complains but she in letting out some soft whines every few minutes so I know she's hurting.
Wish I could do something for her, she's a great little girl.
Lyme ?
That was one of the suspects, but was ruled out yesterday. Cancer is a possibility but seems remote. All her joints are swollen as well as lymp nodes. They must have been rough on her yesterday because she was in a lot of pain. I gave her a pain pill about midnight and about 2:00 am she got to sleep. I sorta thought she would never be able to get up but this morning was much better.
The samples sent to the college lab should tell us something soon
