Thank you. When I told a few people today what had happened they had all said that I should get used to it because seven is starting to get old for yorkies. I didn't think so, but after hearing it all day today, I figured I was wrong.
I agree that I could have stopped the tests but how many people really do that, once at the vet and especially when they tell you that they want to do the various tests. I didn't mean to sound cheap and I would do whatever I had to, to keep Reese the healthiest possible, but sometimes it does seem that this particular vet runs an excessive amount of tests.
I honestly thought I was going in to try to catch an eye infection or allergy and didn't realize it would turn into a $400 plus visit. I agree about the weight, but it has been an uphill battle with Reese. She is not the least bit interested in any type of exercise, including just walks. She loves to be held and at this point it is probably a combination of being very spoiled, lazy and I am sure she is uncomfortable with the excess weight and the bad knees and hips. I will continue to try to get her to do any amount of exercise and instead of any type of treats, continue with the baby carrots and add string beans.
Thank you again. |
