So here it is Valentines Day and no one has taken Roxie home to love. Sort of makes me sad. She is not sad though because she is happy here with us waiting for that certain someone. We do not think she is only 4 years old. That was the information given when she was taken to the Alabama shelter. Between the vets that have seen her up here and her groomer, they would guess an older gal of 8 years+. So that probably explains the fact that some of her health changes are what are seen with mature dogs. The heart murmur, urinalysis shows early renal concerns, and a low thyroid. So watching her diet and getting her on thyroid medication are what is needed presently. She is the sweetest dog and as we start the thyroid medication we are planning on her getting more energy. Hope that will be a good change. We are kind of used to low-energy Roxie at this point.
