These photos were all taken about a week after I
started Cis on the treatment regimen... vinegar, NZymes, and OxyDrops.
In all fairness, she's gained a few pounds since starting her on the
suppliments -- not nearly enough, but some.
Bear in mind that Cis is NOT a rescued dog... I've
had her since she was 3 months old, and she's never been abused or
neglected... in fact, she's had the very best of everything.
Please excuse my mud -- it's been raining here,
and we have a doggie door. {sigh} |
The red circle clearly shows the outlines of Cis'
hip joints... a pretty sad note, when you consider that she's a
long-haired Saint. Her spine is also very prominent, but I can't
seem to get a photo that shows this. |
The outward turn of her rear feet (and, if you
follow your eyes up to her hips, her whole leg) denotes weakened
musculature and luxation. |
 This
is something I've never been able to get a photo of, til now. Cis
has worn this collar for over 2 years, on this same notch (Zoe, at 2
days older than Cis, has had to have a new, larger collar in the past
year). There was a time when I considered loosening it... I could
very nearly slide it over her head without touching her ears, now. |
This photo more clearly shows the outward turn of
her rear leg (both legs do this). |
Again, the bulging hip joints... this photo shows
the downward slant of her hips, as she takes a step. She has a
"springing" motion to her walk, as her hips "bob" or
"roll". You can also see in this photo how she walks
back on her pasterns in the front. |
