19 DECEMBER: Luna had her water therapy (20 minutes, 1.4 mph), laser treatment, and chiro adjustment with a little time on the magnetic mat. I also had to get a refill of her Tramadol. If looks could kill . . . .
Luna has figured out the perimeter around the yard where the dogs won't go due to the invisible fence. If she wants a ball all to herself, or she just wants to lie out and not be bugged, she'll go closer to the physical fence. Britta especially gives the invisible fence a wide berth (15 feet), even though she could get about two feet from it, so it makes a nice quiet zone for Luna when she gets tired, and she can still enjoy the yard.
30 DECEMBER LUNA'S X-RAYS: Dr. Garrett took another set of x-rays on Luna. She did not sedate Luna, so her extension may not have been as great as it could have been, but she thought it was better than when the first ones were taken, and Luna was sedated at that time.
Dr. Garret said the inflammation in the left hip looks to be decreased, her muscle on the legs has improved, there appears to be a bit of arthritis along her back. She thought the hips were lined up better, and that the spacing around her sacroiliac was improved. Try as I might, I don't know if I remembered everything! She seemed pleased with Luna's progress. At Dr. Garrett's suggestion, we will continue with Luna's water therapy once a week for now. Her best-case scenario is one where Luna could be placed in the vicinity of a clinic where she can continue to do water therapy once or twice a month.

A NEW YEAR DAWNS FOR LUNA HERE
