Answer
Hi Brian,

You didn't use a single bit of punctuation in your message. Not using punctuation makes your message hard to read, and frankly makes you sound like a hack.
That is how your message ended up in a "question pool" for messages that are refused by the person they were sent to, and how I came to read your message.

Even though you took your dog to the veterinarian once, because her problem is continuing she needs to be seen by the doctor again. Because dog's can't talk and tell the vet what the problem is or how it feels, many times the first course of treatment just isn't as effective as we'd like it to be, and another course of action is needed.

Your dog's problem isn't going away on it's own, and she's probably in a lot of  pain. Please get your dog the treatment she needs, and call your vet for an appointment without delay.

Best of luck,
Patti
