Health updates

Raspberry is doing well. She had a check-up last week and other than a nasty ear-infection and an added 10#, she was doing good. With all the other health issues she was having we apparently were starting to neglect cleaning her ears, which are problematic as it is and we need to clean them 2x/week on a regular basis to maintain ear-health. The +10 is due to increased appetite (from her anti-convulsion med) and decreased exercise as we were told to keep her quiet. So we'll hopefully be increasing her walks and decreasing her weight.

WD is doing well. No checkup until 9months (approx 11-11-08) at which time he is not scheduled for anything other than a hemoglobin blood test. We hope to avoid the doctor until then, but he does have a rash under his right arm pit that he's had off and on for about 2 months. We think it's heat rash, but why is it still cropping up? The doc looked at it at 6months and said it looked dry and to put lotion on it, but it looked very light. But it is still there, and only there. Guess we'll keep and eye on it.

We'll keep you posted.
