They tend to go to the mobile vet units who give reduced rabies shots, but the vets never see them until they are too sick.

Theo's last one was great, but then a month later, he started having mobility issues and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. Thankfully, the laser treatments worked for him and he's back to his old self, jumping, running and playing tug. Since Nelly is 10, it was recommended that she go twice a year, but the vet said because she's Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460371059489250471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-65823474915535442602017-11-15T21:25:54.329-05:002017-11-15T21:25:54.329-05:00My cocker, Chipper, had a wellness exam for his 12...My cocker, Chipper, had a wellness exam for his 12 1/2 birthday and my vet found a very enlarged spleen. He didn't have any symptoms, except for a bought of diarrhea. Less than two months later, actually today, I had to euthanize him since he became very anemic and weak. I'm glad the wellness exam gave us more time to be with him and we were able to research options to make his remaining Sandy Kubillushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764647285751932009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-53004540358688083032017-11-15T20:50:52.684-05:002017-11-15T20:50:52.684-05:00Agree.

When they were younger, however, they went every year; we always scheduled their appointments on their Gotcha Days so that we wouldn't forget.
