I'm afraid water therapy is out of the question - we're in a backwards kind of place. I need to check in with Dr F today and let him know how she's doing so I will ask, just to be sure there isn't something that I don't know about. I'd be a little afraid to get a small pool and try to swim her myself without some instruction by a professional.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.
The November Five - Spirits Max, Cherry, Tika, Trouble & Nova. 11/2008 - 3/2013 An era ends as Queen Nova crossed the Bridge.
Shanna, I'm so sorry to hear that Trouble has been having trouble... but it sounds like she's starting to feel better now.
Let us know what Dr. F tells you!
Sending you and Trouble a big fat hug!!!
Angel Jake's Mom
Jake, 10yr old golden retriever (fractured his front right leg on 9/1, bone biopsy revealed osteosarcoma on 9/10, amputation on 9/17) and his family Marguerite, Jacques and Wolfie, 5yr old german shepherd and the newest addition to the family, Nala, a 7mth old Bengal mix kittie. Jake lost his battle on 11/9/2009, almost 8 weeks after his surgery. We will never forget our sweet golden angel… http://jakesjou.....ipawds.com ….. CANCER SUCKS!
Oh Shanna I'm so glad Trouble is doing better....The massages are probably really really good for her....is there any canine body worker around your area that can show you all the places to work? I do know (now) the appetite place...stay away from that one!
Sending great prayers your way for Trouble's continuing rally and GOOD FOR DUKE!!!
Yea for Trouble! Keep on keepin' on! I purchased and downloaded a video on how to give a dog massage and am starting to do that with Daisy, but I think any touch from her people is bound to make her feel better.
Daisy, 12 years young, had left forelimb amp on 5/19/2010 due to osteosarcoma. She left her body behind and joined the other spirit tripawds on 7/16/2010.
So grateful for each day with her!
Lexi (Daisy's momma)
