RE: [pyrnet] Care, Behavior: Sudden problem with certain flooring

["Tedford, Ellen" <Ellen.Tedford@bcbsma.com>]

I have Pergo in my kithen-  quite slippery. When my girl got older she
seemed to slip a lot so I got an inexpensive carpet remnant and cut it
to fit the kitchen. Solved the problem.

Are you sure Gypsy did not slip and fall and hurt herself? Has she been
showing any signs of orthopedic problems?

I personally would get Gypsy to the vet for a complete work up, Blood
Work, Complete Thyroid Panel sent to Michigan State. A  neuro exam if
your vet can do that and a thorough eye exam.

In the meantime, Stores like Walmart carry long rug runners in 5 or 6 ft

lengths.  Try those.  I use them around here for dirt and mud catchers.
Also used them when my dear old Mishka became so frail.  I have tile
and wood floors in most of the house and if Mishka was down, she
could not get up from a slick surface.  Those rugs provided the traction

she needed.  Let us know how things go.
