Lady Jane had her senior check up
LJ just turned 13, she's a little heavy, but her blood work came back great! Almost everything is solidly in the middle of normal. The vet was very pleased - she said that she sees 3 year olds with bloodwork not this good.
The bad news is that she has a yeasty ear.

Re: Lady Jane had her senior check up
That's great that she has such good bloodwork!
 Chama is a little heavy too so I can relate. It is hard to get her enough exercise because she just doesn't move that well anymore. We do three walks a day but it's not enough to keep the pounds off of her. Sigh...

Re: Lady Jane had her senior check up
That's great news! Since I have a pregeriatric girl, I love to hear stories about happy healthy older ladies! Sorry about the yeasty ear, those are never fun.

Re: Lady Jane had her senior check up
I worry about her constantly - always wondering if I'm doing the right thing. All the money spent on supplements and good food is really paying off. The vet clipped her nails which improved her mobility. She was full of pep today - probably from the pending snow storm - instead of trotting on her walk she ran the entire way. I think the harness helps - no more pulling on her neck.

Re: Lady Jane had her senior check up
I know the feeling, last time Morgan was at the vet I felt like such a worrier mom. She got a clean bill of health but I had all kinds of questions, the vet was like, she's good, just keep doing what you're doing.

Re: Lady Jane had her senior check up
I have a problem in thinking Naomi is in her last day everyday, or right around the corner.
Her visit today really rocked that thought out of my head. Bad weather will delay blood results until Monday earliest, but except for arthritic knees, her vet said she is still very strong and could have a few good years yet!!! Her vet and receptionist each commented how she is in better shape than their own younger dogs. LOL-So does this mean I can stop sleeping on the couch in case she needs me now?
