It is so frustrating watching her age, and see some things which cannot figure out how to explain to vet and feel sort of frustrated - she is still a bit grouchy + b word plus the excessive barking .. of course we have not let enuff days go by to see if the amoxicilyn will work or not on not only the UTI, but maybe make her feel more "normal".
