     Just got back from the vet. 

              Good news 1st.  Aria gained another pound! :D  and she got a shot for pain.   Knocked her out!!  she even passed her full food bowl once, but went right back to to eat (slowest I have ever seen her eat).  She is sound asleep.  (maybe I can get some housework done??)

              Bad news:  vet couldn't get urine, so gave a shot of anti (painful shot):(  and broad spectrum anti (expensive).

And tha'ts the latest on my poor baby Aria:)  Thank you to all you nice people who care:wink:  Robin and Baby Ari

I give 1 tsp of coconut oil one day and 1 tsp salmon oil next day, and also give canned sardines packed without salt or canned herring for extra omega oils.
