She was not getting off Kevin's bed to eat or go outside. For days. It was obvious something was very wrong, so we took her to the vet. Without running a litany of tests, it would be impossible to get a diagnosis. We did notice that when we put her down to walk she limped. Bad.
I suggested that before we spent $$$$ to run all the tests that we x-ray her front legs. It turns out she has arthritis in both of her front elbows. After an injection and some pills, she is getting up to eat again, and even going outside. The jury is still out if this is her only problem, but for now we're hopeful.
:( If you need advice, I'm a good resource. I've worked in the veterinary field for 15 years now, and if I don't know, I've got great vets I can ask to look at the radiographs.
