I am fostering two 9 week old girls right now for central kentucky boxer rescue (they still don't know they're not boxers). I've been a long time reader of your blog and thought you might know someone who needs a great big fuzzy dog. They are listed at Petfinder.com and you can see their info on WWW.CKBR.org It says "inside pet only" on the adoption page, but mainly we just want to make sure they're treated like pets and not thrown out in someone's yard and forgotten or out laying in the road. The girls would appreciate it if you could help spread the word.

For what, I'm not sure, but a great strategy nontheless. What a hoot.

Do that for a couple of weeks along with morning and evening massages. I'd say that a 1/2 hour massage, per foot, would be adequate. Playing soothing music will also help her relax and loosen up her muscles and tendons. You could try singing to her as you are icing and massaging...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />If that doesn't do the trick, I have used baby aspirin (1 per dose) with good results and my sheep will eat them right out of my hand. I've never given them for more than a few days at a time though.<br /><br />Good luck!Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-49796492353599160782010-06-25T08:32:34.410-05:002010-06-25T08:32:34.410-05:00You have some seriously spoiled sheep. :) Poor Est...You have some seriously spoiled sheep. :) Poor Esther.

It worked for her. It also seemed to have made her a little sleepy. I only had to do it about 3 times. <br /><br />What I did is mix is with some cream cheese, let is set until is melted and she pecked it right up.

She is all about the minerals (boron for arthritis.) Her horse book suggests a celery seed, cod liver oil, and cider vinegar concoction. Haven't used it, but sounds relatively inexpensive and might be worth trying. Good luck.<br />MarianneMariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993015456186049234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-34144358972670769322010-06-24T16:03:54.898-05:002010-06-24T16:03:54.898-05:00Love it!

It's not much help, but I did see on another blog where they were feeding herbal meds or something like that to help their sheep (or goats?) with athritis. If you find out something please let me know and I'll do likewise. I have an old girl who is okay now, but when winter rolls around she really has trouble with stiffness.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.com
