Oh how wonderful that she has done well then! Is she on Medication for it? What kind of diet do you feed? I have to give Smidge her meds twice a day, and its a pain, hiding it in her food now, before Saturdays check up I was poking them down her throat. I don't want to have to do that. Is Pollie on a persciption diet food? Beth

She was given a year to live last year but she's made it past that date and i hope to have her for more years to come. She was born with deformed hips, legs, knees, spine, trachea, and enlarged heart. I'm sorry I am so behind on the message board. It was a nice weekend and I worked outside while I could. I'll try to catch up tonight.

She doesn't have Pneumonia anymore, they did an x-ray and her heart is very enlarged, rated a 5 out of a 6. I saw the x-rays and her heart is so big it is pushing against her lungs. She is on three medications now. Has any one else here gone through with this? Beth
