life inside the fence

2 am with a sick dog

Up early with Zenji.  She get restless sometimes, paces, backing up and sitting down suddenly. I though it might be weakness or pain in her hips but she has stomach issues as well when this occurs.  She seems to feel a little better after she goes to the bathroom.  I thought maybe she was blocked and  I've taken her to two different vets over the past 6 months and both tell me they can't find anything wrong.  Bloodwork, urinalyses, stool samples and x-rays are normal.  She did have a cancerous tumor removed in March 2023 so I can't help but think that is somehow related.  But if it was, I would think something would have shown up during our vet visits.

I know she's getting older and things like this happen with senior dogs but I still worry.  And if any dog parents out there could offer advice, we'd appreciate it. 

Take care,

Teresa, Zenji and CeeCee
