So now we've started on the road to MVD, I'm afraid. Belle has a sensitive tummy and sometimes it gets upset and she gets the runs, if it gets really bad where we cannot help her with it, we take her to the vet. So anyway, she was in with the vet today. He gave her a good check up and detected a 'slight' murmur, so probably a Grade 1? She's 2 and a 1/2 years old, so young
Also the vet was concerned about her weight. I work so hard keeping my cavvies on the straight and narrow, but they are like their Mom and pile on the pounds when the just smell a treat! Belle was on a diet last year and lost 2 pounds. She wasn't feeling great on the diet so we took her off it and got some maintenance food, but she put it all back on. The vet suggested giving her this liquid, the name of it escapes me at the moment, but it's supposed to help her burn more fat. Now Belle has to go on a diet again, and it's so hard! We walk every day, otherwise she's a couch potato. Obesity is really a big problem with cavaliers, isn't it?
I just wanted to share this with you.
