Poor girl is just falling apart. one problem that we are doctoring
for is an infected anal gland, or an infected mass within an anal
gland. Vet not sure yet as it is too solid to lance. She is on
antibiotics, anti-inflammatory and warm compresses for a couple of days to
soften it up.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800000 size=4 face=Baltimore>But the problem that I think is
rather bizarre and wondering if anyone has ever had this problem......Part of
the Pads of Maggie's rear feet look like they are fading away, and her rear feet
are very sensitive to the touch. The vet noticed that she is walking
on the sides of her rear feet pushing the large middle pad to the side giving it
the funny look. Other than orthopedic shoes (tongue in
cheek) I don't know how to correct this problem.</FONT></DIV>
