[Ellie May]

Anytime.

The only real issue Ellie had as a pup was retained puppy teeth (normal).
Since it wasn't taken care of and her teeth weren't brushed, she ended up with stage 3-4 peridontal disease by age 5. Nine adult teeth had to be pulled.

She has very mild luxating patella diagnosed at about age 6.
She has high bile acids (I requested the test just in case).
This has something to do with a liver functioning issue.
She had one acute case of pancreatitis at age 6.
She developed a hypersensitivity to corn and possibly an allergy to beef at age 6.
She had a vaccine reaction that could have taken her life without emergency treatment. This happened at age 5 but really age had zero to do with it. It may be related to her liver issues.
Her ears seem to be prone to yeast infections (may be related to diet).
Now she has gastrointestinal issues that are hopefully under control.

Although some of these issues were diagnosed later in life, they may have been diagnosable earlier with proper testing.
