 Nearly two years after Annie’s owner was told she had two months to live, Annie’s healthier than ever.
Annie is a Bernese Mountain Dog; a breed of dog which has a typical life expectancy of 7-9 years. Her owner, John, adopted her at 2 and from the start provided her with great care - terrific nutrition, exercise, and love. In June 2015, John noticed an increase in the stiffness and lameness in Annie’s right shoulder. It had been going on for a few months, but now she had had become a “tripod”. She wouldn’t put weight on her leg and stopped walking around the house. Annie was 9 at the time and, though John was not surprised that she was encountering geriatric issues, this was extreme. He decided to bring Annie to his local veterinarian who took x-rays. The findings were completely unexpected.
