Izzy has been limping for a while. Mom decided she better get her to the vet. Mom took the normal samples. They found out that Izzy has a UTI, caught early, and meds given. Mom insisted Izzy have x-rays. So, today Izzy goes to be photographed. Her x-rays are all normal, no signs of anything abnormal at all.

The cause of her limp is still a mystery, but we are going to start with a month of intense rest. For 1 week she will be given Meloxicam to releave the discomfort. After a month of rest, she will begin short walks again. It is hoped the rest will allow the ligaments, tendons or whatever is causing the pain to heal. If it does not, she will be re-evaluated.

Izzy had a lazy evening and night. She was like a drunken soldier. I just had to laugh at her, but brothers can do that. Mom and Dad slept downstairs with all of us last night, just like they did for me (I thougtht they would only do that for me, guess I was wrong). Izzy went out in the middle of the night, but only to get fresh air. I noticed that she was steadier on her legs each night. This morning Mom was very happy to see us all. Izzy was almost her back to herself. She did part of her business, then Mom took her back inside. I  just know something special happened in there, I just know it. When I got inside, all seemed normal, but I just know something happened. Oh she was probably fed her breakfast by hand. That is ok, I am glad Izzy had a good breakfast.

I told Mom that I would continue to lay beside Izzy to comfort her today. We would rest together. I am such a good brother.
