She won't take treats, so I had to pill her the old fashioned way. She was a trooper about that, though, I've never had such an easy time pilling a dog.
They assured me at the vet that she will be fine. I really, really hope so.

Brittany got her 2nd injection in her other hip today. I was afraid she was going to be reluctant about getting in the car, but she jumped right in.
This morning, before her trip to the vet, she seemed pretty fine. She ate and pottied as usual, and seemed happy. But now she is moaning and groaning again, although not as loudly as yesterday. I guess because she already had three doses of pain medication in her she was a little more prepared for today's shot.
Poor thing, she's tearing my heart out.
