Another Health Related Update

I've stopped the eye drops because they seemed to do the trick and cleared up my eyes nicely. I don't get the goo much anymore and my eyes don't look so swollen. No news on whether I'll need surgery to correct anything just yet, but I'll keep my paws crossed for no surgery.

Dr. Surette put me on some new kibble...it's specially formulated for dogs like me who have problems breaking down purine. So it's got less protein, but more fat! It kind of smells like those cheesy fish crackers and I love them. The problem is, with the new kibble, I always feel hungry. Even when Mama and Papa mix the new kibble with the old kibble, I feel like I need to eat twice a day at least. Mama says that I'm starting to lose my figure, my midsection is starting to get thick because of the new fatty kibble. I think they just need to get off their lazy bums and walk me more!

Sometimes they don't notice when I'm hungry so I lick the bottom of my empty dish very loudly to get their attention. If that doesn't work, then I quietly grumble in their direction. If they look at me, I look at my bowl, and then look at them, and then look at my bowl. Lather, rinse, repeat. I stop when they finally feed me. You'd think that with the more food I eat, the more poo I'd make, but it's always quality over quantity and the quality of the food is so good, that the quantity of poo is a lot less!!
