Roma is a European Village Dog all the way from Romania to the UK. Follow our adventures learning how to love, grow and live, and showing the world that being a street dog doesn’t make you any less! Also featuring Jak the rottie mix and Tilly the blue budgie. We’re on YouTube too! Same username!

day 9: mixed breed dogblr

I drew Roma, of course. this picture gave me a good laugh when Maggie posted it so I thought I'd do my rendition of it! love you and Roma!!

Idk when you did this but thank you 🥺 I love. So sorry I’m not super active here anymore ❤️

Follow up vet visit! Roma has improved (mainly). With fur growing back already and energy increased. Downside since yesterday she’s now peeing for England and drinking way too much. Bloods retook and will find out results Monday. Her heart rate was also a little high too and she’s lost more weight (now 23.4kg).

She did however hear a box full of 4 week old puppies and was so desperate to get to them she started crying to them (and they cried back 😭). She was very good and didn’t react once in the busy practice!

So glad I trusted my gut and chose to get bloods done!

Year in review: 2021

January: bed rest

February: got diagnosed with hip dysplasia and food allergies

March: started hydrotherapy

April: met up with a friend

May: briefly got some chickens

June: did our first mantrailing session

July: celebrated her 5th gotcha day

August: celebrated Jak’s 11th birthday

September: did bikejoring

October: did two obedience competitions and placed!

November: leg started playing up so on bed rest

December: diagnosed with potential hypothyroidism (leg still playing up)

So Roma’s been diagnosed with potential hypothyroidism last Wednesday 8th December and is on a trail medication for 30 days.

Her front right wrist has flared up again and does not want to back down. Even with meds and rest and really short walks.

And I don’t know where this is going tbh. Her medical problems are mounting up with:

- hypothyroidism

- hip dysplasia

- arthritis in front wrist due to old injury

- Environmental allergies

- food allergies

- her left wrist has too much movement making it turn out more than it should

It’s just like, what else can she get? She’s always lethargic and I don’t know if it’s from the pain or the hypothyroidism. She’s started grumbling at me when she’s sleeping which she never did before (obviously I leave her alone).

I’m scared that I’m loosing her. And I don’t know what to do.
