Labrador Rescue

Just thought I'd give you all an update on Molly after a real roller coaster of a ride.

I think, nay hope that we have now seen the last of the lovely vet Chelsea at least for another six month.

We went to see her on Wednesday and she said she needn't see us again for another six months as finally, we had got Molly's arthritis under control. She decided to take another blood sample just to be on the safe side with meds etc. Off Molly went with Chelsea, never looking back as if she knew what was coming. She came back out wagging her tail as if to say "no problem."

Well, I got a call from Chelsea yesterday afternoon to say that her potassium levels were off the scale and she had never seen a reading quite so high. Well, you can imaging, my heart dropped into my stomach. She went on to explain that she was sure there was nothing to worry about because she thought it was a fault on the machine.

We were back at again this morning for yet another blood sample. Off Molly trotted, this time probably thinking "oh no, not again."

We went home, choked on some tasteless lunch awaiting the call. Now the good bit, it was the machine and all is normal.

I have just read the post re Bonnie and her arthritis. I don't know if this will be of any help but, I can only say that Molly is now managing quite well. She has 2 Onsior tablets per day (cheese triangle) and 1 Boswellia tablet (cheese triangle) - just to say that this equals two Dairylea cheese triangles - and her Yumove which she thoroughly enjoys.

I know there are dogs really struggling at present (Mr. Gollie and Skye immediately come to mind) but I just wanted to share some good news. I pray that we hear some good news about both and they get 'sacked' from the vets soon too.

Message to George................I'm still up for it!

Good news Molly Way to go.

Brilliant news lins.

Hi Lins and Molly
Well what a couple of days you have had, we are very pleased that all is well in the end, but very worrying at the time.
Like you Lins cheese triangles are in use at our house as well ( thanks to Sam ) Bonnie is staying on synoquin and from tomorrow Previcox also. I am about to go walking with the other 3 so she will not be happy.!!
Joan mentioned the cold and living where we do I am sure that this does not help.
However this is really about your beautiful Molly so from us and keep well Molly.
Thinking of you all and sending love
Liz Shelly Bonnie Molly n Polly xx

Really pleased to read that Molly is doing well and that her arthritis meds are agreeing with her. I can imagine how you felt when you got the potassium readings, even with the vet saying it must be a faulty machine , it's impossible to function properly until you get the results of the retest. So to Molly and these are for you.

Lin please pass on to Molly that George is also doing well, the arthritis in his left elbow is being managed with just 3 YuMove Advance tablets daily and we are able to take him on longer walks too. His vet wanted to put him on Metacam but I don't want to use anything like that unless it's absolutely necessary.

George says "Way to go Molly and there's a lot of life left in this old dog too"!!
