It has always pain me when animals gets sick and in their old age they start to have all kind of issues. I'll offer prayers to St Francis of Assisi , patron saint of animals, for her healing. I hope that she improve.

We think that what she had was a spinal tumor, but we'd spent so much money keeping her alive that I didn't have a necropsy done after she passed away. She responded very well to steroids several times in the five weeks from when the problem first presented to when we had to let her go. She was VERY independent and didn't want any help, but we didn't want her falling and she wasn't supposed to do the stairs or get on the furniture on her own at all. (Which she did anyway, despite our best efforts!) One thing that helped us a lot was a Bottoms Up leash. It lets you help them without putting a lot of strain on their back. There's a new harness out, too, that has handles on it so you can help them up stairs and into cars when you need to, but I forgot the name. <br /><br />That was long winded! I'm sorry! I hope that HiLite is going to bounce back and be okay!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890029005765166082.post-28746044674116445922011-06-23T07:49:17.560-07:002011-06-23T07:49:17.560-07:00I'll think good thoughts for your girl.

Same thing, they pumped him up with steroids and he did get better, but I never forgot it. I hope Hilight heals up fast and is back to her happy self. It's hard to watch them when they are in pain and suffering. They are so dear.<br />Hugs,<br />CourtneySassafras and Winterberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153493021653446039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890029005765166082.post-20609196366646181712011-06-22T22:08:58.973-07:002011-06-22T22:08:58.973-07:00Hi Karen,

It's so very hard when they get older and things start to go wrong.
