[Gpdd] HEALTH: Update on Angela

[Cuttlefish Arts]

Well, the Xrays showed nothing overly suspicious -- except some possibly
compressed vertebrae that might have something to do with Angela's back leg
problems, and maybe some incipient bone loss, but not a dramatic problem. A
radiologist will be looking them over more thoroughly on Thursday. Her teeth
have not overgrown much in the past month, so it seems that she's doing
better with that, and getting some food on her own (it's kind of hard to
tell without 24 hour supervision) and chewing a bit more.

She's still being syringe fed, but holding her own weight wise -- in fact
she's gained some, and is the same as she was when she was at the vet last
which was in late May. I did see a drop before I started syringe feeding
more aggressively last week, and I now have a better scale-- a good quality
electronic food scale that goes up to 7 lbs. -- so I can keep closer tabs.
The old scale was not as accurate.

The Vet is going to look into some anti-inflammatory and pain meds, too.

So, nothing to report exactly, but I thought I'd let everyone know what's
up. Thanks for everyone's help.
