Aww try not to worry her lack of appetite is probably just a temporary thing. Did she do too much activity yesterday? That often has something to do with a dog being more sluggish than usual. Watch her activity level to make sure she doesn't overdo things, cut back if necessary, and let us know how that helps.

Hi Destiny! Sorry for the delay in joining in on the celebration--congratulations! Your photos are adorable and so are you and Destiny! You share the philosophy of so many here and that is everyone e should have the privilege of sleeping I. The bed with your dog! Does she share "her" blanket with you?
Yeah, sometimes they feel so good because the bone cancer pain is gone that they start to overdo it and can get sore muscles....glad she's eating better now.
You are a great paw parent and doing such a great job! Keep up the good work and enjoy every single moment you have together--and it looks like you are doing that just fine!!
Take care of your special selves and thanks for sharing the joy! Sally and Happy Hannah

How sweet... heat therapy can be very soothing for dogs. Just be careful with heating pads and electric blankets. They can pose dangers when too hot or if left unattended. That's why we recommend Bella's Hot/Cold Pain Relief Pack.

You can contact Bella's to order direct or find out if they have resellers down under. Tell them Tripawds sent you! The company was named after Bella, a three legged Great Dane.
