Hello All
I havent been here in a long time. I acually had a hard time trying to find the forum. They always seem to be changing things around.
I am taking Kaia to see a neurologist at Cornell on Thursday to have them check out this Lumbar Sacral Instability thing that he may have. The vets are not sure that this is his problem. He has been on gabapentin for the last 3 months and tramadol and i still dont seem to have my old Kaia back. It is very heart breaking to see him not his usual self. He is on a perscription diet for his urine crystals which seem to be helping. He went from many crystals to a few on the last urinalysis check. I dont like to feed him this stuff but if it is helping, then i guess we will continue it. He seems to keep getting a rash on his belly that just wont seem to go away. My luck it is probably from the food he is eating. I guess i will have the doctors check that out too.
The other 2 have been doing ok. Kona is starting to show his age. He will be 11 in October. He is slower moving and you can tell his legs are bugging him. I give him sea mobility daily and I have him on the reduced fat core diet with Kiko that seems to be helping. Kiko isnt showing her age as much as Kona though. She still seems to have quite a bit of energy in her. She has a bum knee that bothers her if she gets too rambuntious. I will try to post some pictures of them soon, if I can figure it out again. Ive missed being on this forum with everyone. Maybe now that I found it again I will bookmak this page so I can find it easier.
Will try to keep in touch on the boards.

Joanne
