Yes, this is a post about my dog. :) I always try to document Norah Kate's progress with her doctor's appointments, and thought I should do the same for Chula (don't worry, this is a one-time thing). Chula went for her first visit at a vet here in Jackson. We found him to be very nice and we are very pleased. So, here goes:
Weight: 89 lbs!!!!!!! She is one big mama! I found her summary sheet from her first ever vet visit when she was 2 months old and she then weighed 18.1 lbs. What a difference! We knew she was going to be big...but not that big! :) Funny thing is...it is all muscle (and substance); no extra fat!
Yearly Tests: all were negative, yeah! Way to go Frontline and Heartgard!
Vaccines: check! & we have a new Madison County rabies tag.
Allergies: Our vet said she looks good! Wow, I was SO THRILLED with this news! After multiple antihistamines, antibiotics, antifungals, 1 allergy testing (and opting out of a 2nd), 2 rounds of allergy shots and 2 hematoma (ear) repairs...maybe, just MAYBE, we might be on the right track! Now, don't get me wrong, she still licks her paws somewhat, but he said that for a dog with allergies she really looks great. She has none of the ear symptoms that she has had previously (for years), and he also said that most times if you get a dog with allergies to not lick AT ALL then you've probably gone too far. Oh what a relief!
So, here's to you, Chula!!! :) We love you and you are such a good pet to our family!
