[nagdu] went to the vet

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Bibi.
A friend's dog had a degenerative disc disease, and she was helped by 
swimming--there are places that have therapeutic swimming for dogs.  I just 
mention it in case it's helpful, though it might be hard to find a place.
Good luck with Odie's tummy problems.
Tracy

> Hi, all,

> As for the stye on his right eye, it's actually on the eyelid.
> It's not grown any larger nor caused any problems with his right eye.
> Doctors Powers also did a leg flex movement with the back ones.
> He flinched a little bit, but no cry or yelp came out of him.

> Now that he's back to his old self again, he did misbehave some at my

> He was definitely being a naughty brat.
> I actually had to take my retractible leash, wrap it around the leg of a

> Regardless, am glad that the vet didn't find anything serious going on.
