#145: Update on Gretapie

A diagnosis of arthritis ain't great but it could be so much worse.

We had two sleepless nights (Friday and Saturday) and one semi-sleepless night (Sunday). She was in so much discomfort as you can see in the picture below.

She got herself up on to my lap on Friday night and spent much of it there between epsiodes of up-down-walk around.

We got in to see Dr Pat, our wonderful vet, who carefully examined her and took X-rays. The diagnosis is arthritis in her neck, shoulders, and hind legs, and this was a very bad flare up. Greta is now on meds for it.
