Maria, i am so sorry to hear about Lola being sick.
I hope she is OK and not too expensive, but it sure sounds expensive. That is when I wish i had doggie health insurance. Probably like a stomach thing people get and all the tests will just rule out more serious problems.
Sorry that your hip is hurting too. That has been a pain for me since my 9/2010 surgery, my hip pain especially on the right side. Now i only feel twinges of pain on the right side since the ESI. Then it went to the left side. Neither one is too bad right now. I have a right hip replacement and i really thought there was something wrong with it last year as they had re calls on it. But, my hip surgeon checked it all out and declared it functioning perfectly.
That is one of the reasons i had this surgery was to get rid of that awful pain.
Getting rid of the low back pain was another one.
Please let us know about Lola, I'm thinking about the 2 of you
