[QUOTE="Subion, post: 2026130, member: 114709"] She has. I’m trying to work with her every day a few times to use her legs more to help strengthen them. The one leg that always got the swelling in the paw she always seems to want to hold close to her body even if I hold her she lets it hang some. She seems to be able to move it alright when she needs to and eventually she will use it to hold on to stuff. She just acts like it bothers her or is weak. Normally she would fight to get all paws in me if I held her but now she will let them hang until she gets to uncomfortable or wants to move. I try to get her in a position she won’t like so she’ll try to climb up my hand and on to me. Besides when she wants to walk she still lays around most the day. Doesn’t even try to hold her self up on her legs, just stays in a laying position unless she’s after something. She just doesn’t like to explore like she use to and I’m hoping she gets back to where she did. She will hold herself up on her front ones once in awhile while I hold her but she prefers to be in laying mode. With all the swelling in the paws and issues she had over the last year I’m sure she is probably a little weak and needs to build up those muscles some. I really miss the days where she would run around non stop and try to climb stuff in my room and when we are outside. I know with age they get less active and everything but she was doing good before the follicles got her down. A lot of that is hopefully behind us for good but the road to getting her back to wanting to run around like she use to is defiantly going to take some time and effort. Not to mention she is still not wanting to get up on her own most days. Only one here or there she will. She use to always come out of the covers before I was out of bed and wake me up. I have noticed though she seems to be yawing less now then she was a week ago. Last week at this time she would yawn at least once every 30 min or so it seemed like. Now we may go most the day with only 1-2. It is a cold day today unfortunately again so we can’t really get out. So just sitting in the car with the heat up so she can look around and watch the rain. Suppose to be in the 80s the rest of the week so hopefully that will help perk her up some. Trying to cut back on food some also. Maybe hoping if she loses a bit of the weight that may get her in a better place. She’s not getting many bugs but it’s been hard cutting back on fruit since that’s usually what she will eat. Been doing. Slurries for her but it seems like if it doesn’t have something besides her greens in it she don’t like them as much. I’ve been trying to give her squash and sweet potatoes or even other veggies but trying not to overdo it on them either since they can get to much vitamins out of it. Then I run into the issue of stores either not carrying stuff she can eat daily or it just looks spoiled or about to. Literally it seems like 90% of the stuff people tell me to get her our area never carry’s or heard of. Been trying to find a reasonable price place to order stuff online but not much luck there.
