I sleep a lot now. I thought it was old age, and it could be, but I did go to the vet last week.
Mom took me to the vet because my allergies are at thier worst this year. Just as my hair grew back from last year, I began pulling it out faster than Mom could keep up with. So back to the vet. Mom said it was time for shots, that I was going to have allergy testing to see what we could do to make it stop. But when she told him that I had been coughing and wheezing, he checked my lungs. Clear. Then he did an x-ray. Seems my heart is enlarged. Don't know what that means, but it could be why I'm so tired. I was put on a prescription for the allergies and we have to go back for a thing called a sonogram.
The vet said I have to have a sonogram before he can determine what is really wrong. Also, he wants to clean my teeth and said he doesn't know if I can go under anesthesia till he knows what is wrong. He told Mom I may have to have my teeth pulled if he can't clean them. Now I wish I would have let her brush them, instead of biting at her every time she tried. This doesn't sound fun.
Mommy is getting nervous, but she says she is optomistic. Sure, she was when Emmy was sick too. Mommy is not herself.
