Aging is Tough

 

Addie needed follow up blood work to check her pancreas so we had an appointment with Dr. Johnson. Lucie was not letting us leave without her so she came for moral support.

The test that Dr. Johnson did actually showed her pancreas number which is at 1,500. Normal is 200. So, she will be staying on her low fat food diet. She is 100% back to her old self which is fabulous! This is something that we will be staying on top of. Once a dog reaches 12 or 13, it's just a matter of time before they have health issues. Addie was already experiencing a thyroid issue along with her lower back issues that she has acupuncture and laser therapy for so I really didn't see this coming. We will do all we can for her. We are not sure what issue has contributed to her hair loss but as long as she is happy and with us I don't care if she's bald. I will love her just the same.
