'Samantha Jean'

Samantha Jean is an 11 year old Springer Spaniel who first came to us in June of 2010 for arthritis. She had been and continues to receive adequan injections (Glucosamine). These help her mobility. Her limping got worse in the fall of 2011 and now she is receiving oral glucosamine in addition. She was diagnosed with sever bilateral elbow osteoarthritis and shoulder arthritis in addition to her hip and knee arthritis.

Early this spring she presented with blood in her urine and doctors discover a bladder tumor that may or may not be resectable. One month later Samantha Jean came down very ill. She was taken to the Pet Emergency Clinic where they diagnosed her with Immune Mediated Anemia. After a blood transfusion and repeated bloodwork  she has stabilized and continues with daily medication to keep her red blood cell count regulated.

What an incredible dog-we are proud of you Samantha Jean...
