Well, since I just suggested if she really did not think they were overweight, maybe see another vet, I guess that was not too bad. Glad I at least listed both options.
I agree, Coco's form, although still cute as a button, is that of an overweight dog and since the term "obese" comes in to play at that certain percentage (can't remember what it is offhand), then I bet the vet is right on with his dx. Hard to hear that about our "kids" but better to help them lose a little and live a lot longer. |
Yeah, those overhead shots don't lie! Joey's breeder said that Yorkies don't have the extreme waist that some breeds do, and should look a little like a sausage wth a waist.
