It's sad to watch.<BR/><BR/>Sarah, our vet here in Saint-Aignan has prescribed treatments for Collette using a product called Agilium, which contains chondroitin. Here's a web site:<BR/><BR/>http://www.zubialcompany.com/zubial/laboutique/agilium.html<BR/><BR/>Collette had a three-week treatment last fall that did her much good. The vet said to repeat the three-week treatments as needed. It's probably time for another one.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1140571846582085952006-02-22T02:30:00.000+01:002006-02-22T02:30:00.000+01:00Have you considered giving Colletteglucosamine cho...Have you considered giving Collette<BR/>glucosamine chondroitin for her<BR/>arthritis? Friends of mine give it to their 15-year-old dog with<BR/>excellent results -- they get in<BR/>powdered form. Do believe it is<BR/>widely used in Europe -- don't know<BR/>about the veterinary formula, tho'.<BR/>I take it myself every day with<BR/>great results, helps those creaky<BR/>knees, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1140548172687222052006-02-21T19:56:00.000+01:002006-02-21T19:56:00.000+01:00Our Lucy always took a separate path home like Col...Our Lucy always took a separate path home like Collette. She was a slow mover and wanted to be carried the first part of our walk, but as soon as we turned toward home, she was like a Greyhound! She took pride at watching us return up the hill-- she was always the first one home. Must be a dog thing<BR/><BR/>I love the cyclamens- I've never seen them growing in the wild.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778535302848508224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1140546547712620412006-02-21T19:29:00.000+01:002006-02-21T19:29:00.000+01:00Jill's father suffered through multiple TIAs the l...Jill's father suffered through multiple TIAs the last decade of his life. It eventually developed into a mild dementia. Although we can't say for certain the two were completely related, he didi seem to become a bit more demented after each of his later attacks. e ventually passed away at the age of 88.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-1140544328672135152006-02-21T18:52:00.000+01:002006-02-21T18:52:00.000+01:00I don't think you can choose your ancestors!

Her step lightens and her pace quickens.

Too much inbreeding. The 50% number sounds implausible, but, then, what do I know? Did Charlemagne have short legs? <BR/><BR/>I love the anecdote about Collette going up a different path than you in the vineyards. I hope her arthritis gets better as the weather warms up.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful cyclamens!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
