High hopes on her birthday...
I'm one today!!!! Thanks for all the birthday wishes :) Well, I'm not feeling great, but starting last night we're on to yet another treatment plan. Mom was very sad, but we decided there's no point in being sad. She kept asking me to make it to my 1st birthday, and now I did it! I'm better than I was a few months ago, but slowly losing more weight with no explanation. We now are going to keep smiling and hope the treatment works this time. If not, then our specialist is the next step to refer us somewhere - anywhere. There has to be a rhyme or reason for my being sick and our vet has been so nice to try to fix me. Unfortunately last night's doctor visit didn't go as we'd hoped, so for now, I'm just asking for everyone to keep positive thoughts and hope this works! Now, Mom has started requesting I make it to the big 2nd birthday, so I have to try really hard to get better! My relatives have made it to 15 so I have high hopes to make it to all those birthdays too!

Hey Soph, I had all sorts of problems with my tummy too, and no fur on my feet, and no one could give me an answer, til we happened on one vet who was smart enough not to keep switching food, I was on the bestest foods ever, go figure...natural, no additives, no chemicals, no preservatives, all that good stuff, I mean to tell you an abundance of all the natural good food stuff. Well it turns out, that I am allergic to all sorts of stuff, including rice...the stuff that's in the GOOD DOG FOODS, but it wasn't any good for me. I am also allergic to beef, lamb, dairy (so much for the yogurt that is so good for everyone else but me), and all sorts of other things. If it weren't for having allergy tests run, I would still be sick. So much for that diet of hamburger and rice...wow! Did that do a number on me. So then mama tried this duck and potato, woops, that didn't work, too much potato gave me the nasty stuff that mama couldn't even pick up. So now I have am on chicken, oatmeal, and potato...and all the fur on my feet are back, and I feel great. All that mucousy stuff is gone, I had to go on antibiotics, cause the stuff I was allergic to on the outside was messing my tummy up on the inside.
Mama also had them run another allergy tests, and I am allergic to dust mites, certain pollens, some grasses, mold, etc. So now I stay off the nasty park grass, cause it has dandelions in it and it's bermuda grass.
Mama tore up carpet, and put down wood, she vacuums my beds every day, and I take an allergy tab once a day during allergy season.
I hope your mama finds out what's wrong soon, cause it's no fun being sick.
Love ya lots, Soph, Have a great Birthday!
