Bailey doesn't look sick, does she? But we think that she's in a good deal of pain. During her treatment for a recent bladder infection, she became obstinate about getting up and going outside. I thought it was a behavioral issue. Now, I think that she is showing signs of arthritis. I had to pick her up and carry her out of the house on Sunday, and carry her to the gate so we could go for a walk. She gave a scream when I put her down. I didn't have a choice, when I call her for a walk, or to go outside to pee, she turns and attempts to find a hiding place. The same kind of reaction we're used to when she realizes that we're going to give her a bath. It is so weird, stressful, heartbreaking. Time for the vet. Rolf says he's heard Glucosamine and chondroitin are supposed to be very good. We don't know if greyhounds can handle it. We'll see.

Poor baby, It's hard,(not only on them, but on us)when they can't tell you what hurts. I hope everything turns out OK
