Onsior is a fairly new drug supposedly with little side effects, the usual 'upset' tummies and 'appetite' problems have not yet occured, the one thing that I thought we might have trouble with, was getting Ginnie to eat it without it being wrapped or pushed into food, it has to be given on an empty stomach(she has been known to leave a glucosamine or evening primrose capsule in her bowl, and then it's devoured by a greedy Cobi ) these tablets are flavoured and she quite happily takes them.
The two vets that we have seen are undergoing an acupuncture course shortly, so we may enlist our Ginnie, for some treatment, both of us have acupuncture, I prefer this to numerous drugs for R.Arthritis.
She is getting up slightly quicker from her rest, AND she can still run faster than both of us (her hearing is slightly more than selective deafness now we think) So we both get a 'powerwalk' when she's on her mission, in search of water.
Playtime ....is when Cobi has stolen the toy she had in her possession it's still no holds barred even though Cobi is strong and knows she can push Ginnie backwards and 'dump her on her bum' Ginnie turns Cobi over onto her back ( like an alligator) and stands four square over her until she submits and lets go of either the toy or a mouthful of her fur !!!
not bad for a girl who maybe 12 or 13 yrs.
