Right now we are wrapping up two weeks of Metacam and she&#8217;s taking collagen supplements. We are also doing laser therapy on her. I&#8217;m keeping her confined to a small area as well. Tomorrow I&#8217;m picking up some glucosomine\/chondrotin\/msm. What else am I missing? I feel so horrible. Kismet is also blind and deaf. Her walks mean EVERYTHING to her with that super nose of hers. I need to get her back up and walking. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 17 year old Peke Kismet tore her CCL 3 weeks ago now.
