I am waiting as I type for my vet to call back with her results. She had various blood work (inclduing thyroid) done yesterday.

If all comes back negative I would then like to try a different weight reduction food. She has been on so many and it seems like none have really helped her.

I am sure her major problem is that she has ZERO exercise. She is wee wee pad trained as her number one method but also does go outside when I take her for walks..if you can call them walks. She will make both and then tug to go back in the house. If outside she usually lies or sits down and just observes. She will barely walk a block without tugging me to take her home. If I try to force the issue she will lie down and just drag as I pull her. I certainly do not want to risk choking her or causing her any pain. She will win 9 out of ten times and I will turn around and she will happily go on her way HOME!

Thanks for your reply.
