We got the bloodwork results from Nox’s visit to the vet and additional information.
Her liver function has returned to normal! Yay!
She is on the edge of kidney disease. We are now feeding her prescription dog food in hopes of preventing it.
The vet also looked at previous X-rays and determined that Nox’s heart is not enlarging. Yay!
We have started the shots to help with the arthritis in both her front shoulder joints. She seems to be moving better. She still has a hitch in her step, but she does seem to be in less pain. I hope it continues to help her.

Nox is a tough little girl and it’s great to hear she had a positive check up. The heart and liver stats are especially encouraging for a senior pup. Hope the arthritis shots work but in the meantime she can lay around and demand that her treats be brought to her.

She is a tough old lady (as Bruce calls her). It felt great that her a check up was positive. Well, Nox is the queen of the house and expects treats to be handed to her while she lounges around.
