Pork Chop (2009-2019) Bruschi
I took Miss Porkchop to the vet . We found out itā€™s not Cushings like the vet said in observation. The X-rays showed the true diagnosis. Sheā€™s got enlarged heart and arthritis on her back. Sheā€™s on meds surgery and sonogram process would have to be done. The vet said, at her age she probably wonā€™t survive surgery.

I am taking care of her as much as possible. I am letting her live her life until sheā€™s ready . At the moment , sheā€™s in good spirits , eating and drinking.
She just turned 10 years old. She had a great time with family. I bought her a cake with her name on it. She was such a big ham. Her birthday is July 3. We celebrated on the 4th.

You might want to give her some supplements for her back, eg. Movoflex, turmeric , Actiflex-4000

My Missy has the same - we thought cushings also, but she has an enlarged heart - keeps getting bigger each month. She is 10 also. She is a mixed breed and should weight 5 pounds, but weighs 10 because of her heart and enlarged liver.

Turmeric and CBD will help for sure.
Happy Birthday, PorkChop!

Agree with Chip, definitely turmeric n CBD. Also I know you do essential oils, best for arthritis/joints is Frankincense, Peppermint, and Helichrysum. Mix it in CO or Jojoba oil. If you have a cat omit the peppermint. This mix will get the blood circulation going. In your Diffuser add lavender, tea tree, rosemary n eucalyptus with a few drops of lemongrass. Just a thought :)

As of last night , she lost complete use of her hind legs. I am lost, I really donā€™t know what to do.

Sheā€™s a fighter, I need to put diapers on her. I see she tries to get up. I help her with her harness belt to get up and walk a bit. The same way you would ambulatory an elderly person. Itā€™s not 100% mobility.


Sheā€™s resting at the moment.

Do you have a/c in the house? If so, lower it a bit as cold temperatures n arthritis donā€™t like one another. Why in winter seniors flocks down south. I would start with CBD n turmeric immediately n massage her back with the oil mix. Just a thought :)
