The blood work revealed that they both should stay on thyroid meds. Molly's numbers have improved more than Lucy's, and Lucy's dosage should increase. Their liver and kidney function is fine. No more anemia, too.
Just to be thorough, I elected to have xrays of Lucy's legs. Turns out that her gimpy gait was from being bow legged in the back. Her hips and knees are great, but she has arthritis in her front shoulders. We are going to try some glucosamine. Thankfully both girls are great at taking pills. There are no barriers for Lucy's cataract surgery so the next vet visit will be to the eye vet. We live about six miles from the animal eye doctor, which is convenient. Lucy needs some sort of retina test as the first step toward seeing.
