Today I took Daisy to the local VET. She was more than just due for her annual VET exam and needed to get her shots as well. In addition to that I wanted to have the VET check her lungs since her breathing has been gotten louder over the past few month. I just wanted to make sure that she hadn't gotten herself a case of kennel cough infection.
Having a 17 1/2 year old dog it's a good thing that my VET ist just 2 blocks from my apartment. And that's something Daisy can walk without any problems. We got ther just in time and Daisy settled in quite quickly, although it was quite apparent that she really didn't like the place at all.
The VET took a look at her and was surprised that Daisy was still doing as well as she does with her age. Most VET's are amazed about her physical condition. After a thorough examination it turns out, that without a minor case of heart insufficiency that there is nothing wrong with Daisy. And such a mild case as she has, there is just no need to treat that with meds yet. Daisy got her shots and I had the VET trim her nails as well...and we were done with the VET.
The only thing I've noticed lately is, that she is sleeping way more than she usually does and that upward slopes are becoming way more exhausting.
