Little Mocha

Hip Dysplasia the Vet said and some arthritis. My poor little Mocha is having problems with her hip so she is on medication and a supplement called 'Sasha's Blend' which has been successful for animals with this problem.
She loves to tear around and play tug-of-war with her toys but now we have to be careful not to cause any stress on her hip which means her playing needs to be toned down considerabley. I feel bad because Mocha loved her long walk but now she can only take a short walk. She knows when she is on the way back home and begins going very slowly with a sad look in her eye, taking every opportunity to sniff around and prolong the inevitable. They are so smart; don't know who ever labeled them 'dumb animals'.
We are keeping our fingers crossed that the supplements help and the medication will ease the discomfort somewhat.
