MY New Vet and Toofer Problems

We went to see MY new vet yesterday - Dr Wilson - and I must say - I like him A LOT and of coarse he LOVES  ME us. We both got a thorough checkup, ears, eyes, hearts, blood tests, checked for any lumps or bumps, heart worms and parasite tests (which of coarse were all negative). He says were are both very healthy although Dweeb needs to lose a couple of winter pounds - ME - I am at the perfect weight.

He did find one thing though - Mom asked about getting my teeth cleaned and he found I have two cracked toofers in the back. He thinks my allergy medication (prednisone) has caused them to become a little brittle so no more hard foods for me. I will be going in two weeks to have them removed and have my teeth cleaned. (I had two teeth in the back on the other side removed last year with the same problem). The rest of my teeth are very good though.  Dweebs teeny tiny teeth are very white and clean so he gets out of the torture this time - he can thank Mom for taking good care of our toofers.

And as a funny co-incidence - Dr Wilson was telling Mom that his wife is from Walnut Creek - a little town that is 15 minutes from Jonesboro - where we use to live - and a place we have visited a number of times. We did a post about it last year - Walnut Creek was the place the Beatles stopped at many years ago to pee :) :)

  22. glad that overall everything is ok. Shelties are prone to teeth issues due to the narrowness of their mouths, so I would say that all in all you are doing quite well!

  26. Oh what a relief to find a good vet on the first try in a new place! Replacing the vet, dr., groomer, etc. is one of the hardest parts of moving to a new area so good for you. Congrats on keeping your weight down too.
