Update on Meg-
She is doing GREAT. She really is like a puppy again and has improved no end. In the last couple of weeks her eyes have become a bit dry and her skin quite a bit flakey so we mentioned it to the vet at her appointment last Weds. She said it was probably just to do with her condition and would settle eventually, and that she most likely just has a little infection in her eyes so in the meantime she has some antibiotics and some special (and expensive) shampoo that should help with her flakiness. After just over a week of using both she has really improved
Other than that though she is fab, her levels have settled now and her daily dosage is 0.2mg of throxine i think?? But maybe soloxine? The vet is happy with this and we only have to go back now in 6 months unless we have any more problems
She has also lost quite a bit of weight- she went from 14.5kg to 13.5kg in a month
which the vet said was ideally a bit too much, but as long as she doesnt continue to lose it at that rate she should be fine. She certainly looks more toned
but could still benefit from losing a bit more, especially around her middle
.
On walks she now runs around with Alfie (although isnt quite as fast
) and does a lot of swimming, which she hadnt done for ages. She has also started to pull on the lead
, and we havent been correcting her because we like it
, poor Alfie still gets told though
