There have been many times that a newbie to Greytalk has posted about a bit of fear from reading Health and Medical, and many of us have pointed out that people generally don't come on H & M to talk about healthy dogs, but rather to get support, maybe some advice, and to have a place to discuss their fears.
So this is a good health post.
I took Renie age 9, Lucy age 9 and Teddy almost 8 to their vet for their annual exam, heartworm test, fecal, urinalysis and comprehensive senior panel including extra thyroid panel. Their exams were great, blood work all good, fecal negative, it was all good. My puppers have been on a raw diet for about 15 months now and their vet is very happy with everything. Renie and Lucy are going to have a dental in two weeks because they are showing some plaque and gingivitis. Teddy's teeth are pretty and white and bright , so no dental for Teddy. They do have turkey necks every day, but the girls just don't have good teeth. While the girls are having theit teeth done Teddy and I may go to the dog park.
