Lilie The #Westie & Logan The #Cavapoo Go To The Vet - July 2022

 

Hi everyone.  This is Lilie the Westie.

 

Mummy’s been very busy.  But I’ll let her tell you about that herself.  I want to tell you about mine and Logan’s vet trip yesterday.

Logan got scared because there was a dog that barked at him.  It was only a tiny dog – smaller than me, so definitely smaller than Logan – but he was scared of it and hid behind Mummy until it went away.  I wasn’t scared, but I did think it was very boring waiting to see the vet, and not fair that when the vet called my name another dog went in to see them instead.

 

*Note from Mummy: someone else had a dog called Lily, and Lilie wasn’t happy about it not being her turn to see the vet when she thought her name had been called.  It probably didn't help that this was the first time the vet has started allowing us to wait inside since before the pandemic, so she's not used to that routine at this vet.

 

We met a thing Mummy says is called a cat.  We’ve met lots of different kinds of animals before, but never met a cat.  Until now anyhow.  It wasn’t doing anything interesting though, so we got bored of it and ignored it after a few seconds.

 

Then we heard the voice of the vet we see most times and got so excited we started trying to take Mummy in to his room even before we knew if we were seeing him or one of the other vets.  People thought it was funny for some reason.

Anyway, we were both good when we had our shots.

 

We didn’t even cry when the vet stuck the sharp thing in us or anything.  I mean, we both agree we would have preferred he didn’t do that, but we didn’t make a fuss about it.

 

We let him poke and pull us about to check us over without complaint too.

We both got weighed while we were there.

 

I’ve lost a little bit (I now weigh 10.4 kilos, which is about 23lbs) and the vet is very happy about that.

 

But Logan has ended up putting some weight on (he weighs 19 kilos, which is about 41lbs).  Mummy says it’s because he’s so lazy.  She tries to make him run around like I do, but Logan is just a low energy dog.  The vet says she has to try harder.  Wish her luck with that.  I know my brother, and Mummy's going to need luck with getting him moving more, especially since she can't use snacks to bribe him, since it would defeat the purpose.

Logan doesn't have any issues other than his weight.  He's lucky.

 

My itchies in my ears are bad right now, and my ears are red from it, so I have to have my Recicort ear drops every day for a while until the redness calms down, and then I can go back to every other day.  I also still need to have my Apoquel pill every day.  Plus, now that my back legs bother me lots - even though you wouldn't know it a lot of the time with how I still try to run around and play - I have to have Mettacam every day to help me deal with that.  Mummy says it's a good thing I'm a good girl about taking my medication.  I wish I didn't have to have it though, even if it does help.

 

Other than that, the vet said Logan and I are both looking good.

Lots of licks,

Lilie
