also glad she's sounding like she's feeling better..
as for HD meds, what did he give you? Is she on any antibiotics??
Reason I ask, antibiotics , like doxycycline is used to treat a variety of tick diseases (if you go for a tick test ask for a SNAP 4, this is Lyme, HW, Canine erhlichia & equiine erhlichia),,don't let them tell you tick diseases aren't in your area,,they are everywhere!!!! It's an easy test, and easy cure if that's what it is..
Ok HD meds,,I'm not a big fan of long term use of things like Rimadyl on young dogs, There's alot of over the counter supplements you could be giving her for HD like, glucosamine, chondroitan, msm..etc,, Long term use of the Nsaids(like Rimadyl) can cause liver/kidney failure/malfunction..so I try to stick with a more natural approach if I can when it comes to structure issues.
Good luck, keep us updated
