I don't know why they didn't suggest something more. They didn't give me a prescription for the glucosamine. They just suggested I go to Petco or somewhere similar and pick something up off the shelf. Don't know if that's normal or not, but that's the direction I was led. I'll be taking her in again to do a full panel on her and pursue our options for her at that point.

Thank you so much for the input and the support!
