Prayers for my Samantha

I've been praying but I need your prayers/good wishes also. She has not been doing to well the past few days. On my grading scale she has rated around a 3 each day (10 is good) She is panting a lot, stumbling and falling (nose dive), and she has been falling when she poops. She can still squat to pee. Her back legs are getting weaker and she twists them when she walks or should I say they get tangled. Her front ankles are getting bigger from her arthritis. She is eating so that is good. I do think she is in some pain but not a lot since she is eating well. I started her on a whole previcox daily and will talk with my vet about raising it for a few days to see if she gets relief. I believe she can have 2 a day for no more than 7 days. But I want to ask before I increase it. I've upped the duralactin to double as I don't think it will hurt her. Any other suggestions? My girl is really in need for your prayers. As much as I love her and want her around I won't let her suffer. She needs to get a few good days. I don't mind the fact that she is blind and cannot hear. I do mind all the other things. Please pray for her.

Prayers coming from here for your sweet girl. Can you ask your vet if you can add Tramadol? Chance was on Metacam and when he needed added pain meds I could give him Tramadol also. Maybe that would give Samantha some relief.

Samantha cannot take tramadol. One of the side effects is black loose stools and believe me she gets it bad.

she was able to get up herself this morning. She impatiently waited for breakfast and ate every bit of food.

This is the most difficult part of loving these amazing animals...knowing when it's time. My heart is with you right now Jeannie and good positive thoughts for your Samantha for more good days with you.
