Hello Drool family,<br><br>I need to ask a question, but I am afraid to. I'm afraid that someone will holler at me. I'm sorry, I'm an emotional wreck due to a family situation. The brain tumor messes with my emotions. Please forgive me.<br>
<br>If you respond, please e-mail me at <a href="mailto:bassethoundbutler@gmail.com">bassethoundbutler@gmail.com</a> <br><br>Babe is 5. Last night she whined when she was on the bed. a little later, she whined again as she tried to get up and turned around. This afternoon she came in, and was 'afraid' to get up on the mattress. (We took the frame off, and we just have the bed and box springs on the floor.) She got up on the mattress, and then whined some more as she tried to turn around again.<br>
<br>She walked out here to the living room just fine, she got up on the couch and started whining again. I have checked her feet, they look okay. I have felt all over on her right rear, as that seems to be the sore spot, and she does not flinch to the touch. Arnie uses Rymadil for his arthritis, and I gave her half of one of those for now. <br>
<br>We need a new mattress for the bed. The one we have now is very soft. Is it possible that walking on the 'unfirm' surface of the bed could be causing her this pain? <br><br>We have gotten over two feet of snow here this week, but that is nothing unusual, neither is the cold that we have had. all our kids are kept inside. <br>
<br>Anyone have any ideas?<br><br>We have an awesome vet, and he is really good to us. If needed, when Cat gets home, we'll take her in. It's just very expensive on the week-end, and finances are tough for everyone right now.<br>
<br>Babe is a foster that we adopted, and she has always been in good health, except for the emotional scars that she carries. She has PTSD very, very bad. I love her, and so does my wife. When we first got her, she spent the 1st two months of her life under our desk. She came out to eat, and go outside. Eventually, she made our bed her "SAFE" zone. She slowly started coming out to the living room, and laying on the couch. She now greets us when we come home, and she is just the sweetest thing. I love her so much.<br>
