Zoe’s Cold

Zoe and I agree on one thing. We hate being cold. The last week she’s not been acting like herself. She seemed to have hurt her shoulder a month or so ago. The vet said that he thought it was likely that it wasn’t a new injury. That she may have stretched or torn a ligament at some point in the past and that it just never completely healed. Zoe’s not one to let anything really slow her down, so I hadn’t seen anything till recently when she likely re-injured it.

On and off I’ve noticed her favoring that leg, but this week it seemed that it was worse and she just didn’t seem to feel very good in general. We went back to the vet again and again, nothing was really found, other than that slightly larger spacing in the shoulder joint that he thinks is the old injury. So, since I don’t want to admit that Zoe is getting older, I’m just going to blame her not feeling like her spunky self on the weather. LOL I know it sure doesn’t help my joints and it gives me hope that when spring and summer rolls around she’ll feel more like herself again.

In the meantime, I’m ordering some supplements for her, and I am going to try out an infrared light device that is supposed to help with soreness and pain. I didn’t buy any discount medical uniforms while I was shopping for Zoe, but if I thought it was the answer, I probably would have.
