Sarah had a broken leg when I adopted her. It was either me or the needle.
I missed her Drops for ticks & fleas last fall, she got Lime disease which aggravates arthritis. She has always favored the broken left rear leg but she couldn't walk in March. X-Rays showed her knee as nearly fused, it got so bad she couldn't even pee without falling over. She had a bad reaction to the first meds so we had to start all over again. The Lime is cured but the leg remains painful, pain and inflammatory meds work well but they are expensive.
She's 9 and a half years old and otherwise healthy.
