A Clean Bill of Health

We are delighted to report that after five long months, Simone has finally received a clean bill of health! She went in for blood work this past Saturday to see how things were looking, and finally everything looks good. Gary talked to our new vet, Dr. Rosenlicht yesterday afternoon, and she said all of Simone's values are finally looking normal. The enzyme that was elevated last time (CK, one that indicates muscle damage) was back down within normal limits again, and everything looks good. We can sure tell that Simone feels good, as she's got a great appetite (she now coerces us into an extra scoop of food at bedtime), enjoys running around in the mud and rain, and continually taunts us with her squeeky toys. We don't have to go back in for a recheck again until February or March. We hope everything will continue to go well and that we have all survived our journey through this challenging time.

We will be forever thankful for her recovery and for your support during this year.
