For the last few weeks, Lucy has just really slowed down. She has just been moving so slow and not even been chasing the rabbits that live in our yard. Not even one that ran three feet in front of her. We had agreed that she is off to the vet on Monday.

Well, I started her on raw food on Friday. Saturday she had a bit of spring in her step. She was moving faster and manuvering the stairs much better. Today, sh ran! TWICE!!!!! Then she went quickly up the stairs and when I was talking to her, she even jumped up on me!

I am so excited I cant stand it! I will wait a few more days before we take her to the vet just to see what happens. Yes, she is an older dog.

Just had to share.

Thank you guys!! Yes, [MENTION=983]LariP[/MENTION] I am switching all three. Lucy is actually the one I had the highest hopes for...and guess what!!! We went out to potty again a few minutes ago and she ran off chasing a squirrel! Then I caught up to her and she trotted back and was running all over the yard. I am just speechless. After doing only the eeyore walk for the last few weeks, with NO running, NO trotting having issues going up stairs and getting on the sofa, I am floored....I started crying when she took off after that squirrel. As most of you know, she is a basset with a 10 to 12 year life span and she will be 9 in November.

Oh since you mentioned that Lucy's an older girl, a lot of rawfeeders give theirs chicken feet because it's a great source of glucosamine. I give one to Stig whenever he's eating some sort of chicken (either a leg & thigh or half a back), which is about 3-4 times a week. And, yes, they can eat the nails. Gross, eh. :)
