<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Does anyone have experience with arthritis in the
spine? Pixel woke up this morning and could not move her hind legs.
Took her to the vet who did X-rays and found some vetebral narrowing, a little
arthritis in the hips but thankfully nothing else. Did a senior panel and
testing her thyroid. Gave her a shot of Metacam and she is on it
orally for a week with food. She had such an incident about a year
ago. Have had her on Glycoflex and now Lubraflex for years but guess that
only does so much. She is not really overweight--a little pudgy at 51
pounds. When our regular vet returns from vacation, thought I'd inquire
about acupuncture.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Any advice will be appreciated. She is now at
least walking some but with a limp.</FONT></DIV>
