Re: Dear old Suzy


From Liz and Moli's comments above, there does seem to be some hope of at least getting Suzy more comfortable Elaine. Let's hope so.

Re: Dear old Suzy


Have they tried any supplements (glucosamine/chondroitin) in something like cosequin or seraquin? Might help, in conjunction with the NSAIDS.

I did speak to the owner and the vet about that a while ago. The vet said to give her pedigree joint care . I also spoke about changing her food to a senoir food containing condoitin and glucosamine, vet didnt seem to say much about that and owner hasnt changed her food.
Was talking with him a little this morning as it suddenly dawned on me that the owner has a new g/f. She lives in town. So I suggested that if she lives in a flat, which is highly likely, that the stairs would be making her worse.

Yes i wasnt overly impressed with that either but she's not my dog or vet so didnt feel like I could argue the point really.

Re: Dear old Suzy


Mollie has been on Cosequin for the past 5 years, and have to say it really helps her, she is now also on Prendo Leucotrop, she can have 2 a day, but I find 1 is enough....

Re: Dear old Suzy


Suzy has finally been put on Seraquin and is definately feeling the benefits from it. Sadly she has two melanomas on the insides of her cheeks which we have to keep an eye on. She was in very good spirits today and really enjoyed a good romp around the feild, followed by a bath and a good groom.
Will get some piccies of her next week

Re: Dear old Suzy


There is a huge difference in SuzyQ, she is doing very well and is much more active.
However, I am a little worried. She has two melanomas on the insides of her cheeks which we have to keep an eye on but this morning I think I have found another on the bridge of her nose
