Granny's gone and done it again

Sorry, Granny. Feel better. :hugs
It certainly does sound bad. I've known a lot of dogs in the past..as old as I am..and as many dogs that I've seen through my rescue and foster and training years in my life..live to real old age. Go figure. And I mean a lot. My dogs get a mix. I feed a good quality dog food..no chicken for mine..and I cook hamburger for them. My older dog that is missing some teeth...and being older gets a different food than I feed the other two. As Troyer mentioned he does. I've seen old old dogs that are being rescued because people have to give them up..or other reasons. Most, have been fed kibble dog food all their lives. They looked well for old dogs too. Like I said, go figure. My guess is that they also got table food. I know that family members that have old dogs and are fed dog food also give table food. I remember once a vet wrote an article on just that. A good healthy looking dog comes in, shiny coat. He asks what they feed their dog. Dog food..kibble..different brands here and there. Anything else asks the vet. Well, we give them leftovers a lot. So, they're getting meat and vegetables, and fruit. My dogs get fruit and vegetables too. :)

My Shelties were great at picking blueberries! They loved them.
 
best of luck and healing thoughts her way
Thanks, she did great! She does have some endo, but dr thinks they can manage it with meds.

Thank you, Cynthia!

yes, she escaped her crate in the middle of the night though and Robert woke up to her munching cat food again.
Can you keep the cat food on top of the washer/ dryer where the dog can't get to it? If you pm me I have a suggestion that may help keep her out of it. It won't hurt her.
 
found this on FB and everything except the ears (fawns stand up) looks just like her.

Ridgeback coloring. The best!
Are Fawn's ears completely upright, or do the tips fall forward?
How old is she?
