The Memoirs of MooMoo

Annual Exam

I had my annual exam at the vet last week. Momma and Daddy again expressed their concern about me getting sick so often over the past few months and my weight loss. Momma and Daddy just returned from vacation and when they picked me up at the kennel, I looked even skinnier than I first did when I got my new haircut. The vet also agreed that I was too skinny - I used to weigh 45 lbs and now I weigh 37 lbs. The vet told Momma and Daddy to start upping my food to 1.5 cups 3x a day to see if that helps bring my weight back up. That was great news to me - I love my food and I haven't been sick for a whole month now. I'm due back at the vet for a follow-up in about 3 weeks to see if eating more food made any difference. I received my needed vaccines and had blood and stool samples taken. The vet told Momma and Daddy that if they didn't hear from the office that same day, that my blood sample was good and if there was anything in my stool, they would call early next week. So far, no news is good news - my bloodwork must be okay. Daddy says that he's already noticed a difference in my weight but Momma still thinks it's too early to tell. They're both thankful that I still seem like my happy self - now I just need to bulk up and then I'll be back to normal - wish me luck! =)
