We went to the vets today as Harley has conjunctivitis and several new lumps. Whilst we were there the vet mentioned her vaccinations and asked if we wanted them done today. I explained what I was told and she said that was rubbish and that she only needed 2 of the boosters and kennel cough as the other isn’t due for 2 years, and about restarting, she said we didn’t need to as within the 3 month suggested period, so we had it done there and then. She said if she was a young dog they may restart, but as Harley is 7 that they would continue as normal if within 4/5 months. She’s going to talk to the receptionists and update them.
In terms of Harleys lumps, we are going to do biopsies in 4 weeks as now has 6 which are quite large, one on top of her front shoulder and she’s limping more often on that side.
We are also going to do bloods as she keeps putting on weight and we’ve cut her food down a lot. I monitor everything she’s having and she’s put on 1.5kg in the last month which doesn’t make sense. She’s still quite lively during the day, but can be a bit lethargic as night comes in which is unusual for her, plus she is becoming a bit of a scavenger which she usually isn’t. It’s all so worrying.
