Duchess visited the vet specialist on Monday. Her protein levels are slowing coming up and so is her weight. We can tell she's feeling a ton better, too. The latest issue we are dealing with is hair loss. She's especially lost a lot of hair on her tail. Wes says she looks like an opossum. Her meds make her so hungry she gets to take her food to bed with her at night so she doesn't disturb the whole house when she wants a midnight snack. She's on a special prescription dog food and even has her own Pet Smart card with her name on it. There's been a couple of times that Lexie has gotten jealous of all the attention Duchess is getting. So much so that one weekend Lexie started limping to gain some sympathy points for herself. It worked until the next day when she forgot which foot "hurt" and started favoring the other one. We're still saying our puppy dog prayers for the little white not so fluffly thing. The next vet visit is in two weeks. Speaking of vet visits, I think it's about time for our annual check up. Yuk.
