Hi everyone
I have seen that spider shape here but not sure same coloring. Can I assume that particular body profile has soft fangs?

Year ago - there was a new miracle drug for canine arthritis - Rimidyl - not sure of spelling. The Vet put our Raggs on it. Within 6 weeks or so - she was different and I thought she was in failure ( heart) . Our vet not in but we saw another and an x-ray obtained. That vet said all was well ( but even the x-ray looked like failure to me.) Every person I knew with an elderly dog got that medication (the vet drug rep must have been a hard worker or the $$ made on the drug must have been an all time incentive) anyway-- Raggs definitely was moving better but she was short of breath and wheezing. I took her off it. YEARS later - I learned so many dogs in CHF from that drug because the dosage was set waaaaay too high. That being said - I kept saying to the cardiologists that the patients I had that were taking Celebrex seemed to be having issues with fluid retention and shortness of breath and did they notice that....?? No ..not noticed.... Sure enough years later....and after much untoward effects ... I don't even think it is prescribed. So Amanda trust your instincts.

You all familiar with Neko Case? What a pure voice..,I just love her music. Could listen all day. Started off as punk but -wow- she blossomed into quite a great versatile artist. My dream duo in concert. Neko and Chris Rea.
It'll never happen but I can dream...which is what I am going to try to do right now. Buona Notte!

Ps. Here is today's bug (s ). Sometimes you're the windshield --sometimes you're the bug! Guess which is which?
