Labbie is having some skin problem plus bad odour. Took him to the vet this morning... a young doctor attended to her and first thing he said was, "Your dog is too fat, put her on diet." Ouch... she is 34 kg.. doc told me that his labrador is only 25kg and considered fat too. Alamak! That makes Labbie overweight by 10 kg?? How to lose 10kg? *faint*
After some minutes of consulation, I was "slapped" with a fee of RM101.00!! Labbie, Labbie... for her skin problem, I have to buy a special shampoo, a special dog biscuits for her allergies and 4 types of medicine to eat and apply on her skin.... sigh...
Moral of the story:
Think over carefully first before buying a puppy, getting one is easy... paying money is HARD! LOL....
Dun worry Labby... Auntie Cleff's Ah Meow oso very fat!
ReplyDeletewoi...give the 10kg to me la...sob sob...kena doctor scolding liao..under weight ..
ReplyDeletecleff: i thought your cat will be slim like u.. :p
ReplyDeletekathy: come to my house, stay one week, guarantee u gain weight one!
U know sth, Claire... Labby's weight is same like me. I'm also 34kg! LOL...
ReplyDeleteMy Ah Meow ah? OMg... she... she chubby wan. LOL...spoiled rotten that Meow!

ReplyDeletecleff: *pengsan*
ReplyDeleteMery: Cute too! :p
Why RM101? Kenot discount RM1 kah? wah.. labbie so heavy.. difference of 6kg only with ME! *shake head* apa makan lah labbie? :D
ReplyDeleteomg you all. why so skinny wan! i wish i was 10kg more than labbie. perfectO! hahaha... poor labbie, get well soon...
ReplyDeleteClair: Labbie will love you for the care.
ReplyDeleteDon't have a dog - my missus does not like animals/pets. My daughter has been longing for a pet all her life but the mum said no.
ReplyDeleteOhh my gosh she is the picture of cuteness! I think this is the year of the fat dog. The vet told me the same thing about Lily Dog. I think it is an international ploy to rip us all off and none of us will know any better because it is happening to all of us! LoL
ReplyDeleteGood Luck
merryn: make me so jealous of u all, eat lot lot also wont get fat one..
ReplyDeleteirene: i agreed with u... right!
fishingguy: yes, she is very cute!
stp: i was contemplating too last time.. but my kids kept pestering and i also love dogs.. well, everything needs work and effort and money ! But dogs are ever faithful one... :)
mindofamom: now she has to go dieting..:)
Yeah! Getting one is easy. Paying is not an issue either. But...we have to give our pet our TLC. :)
ReplyDeleteMoney is the secondary but commitment and attention to them are the hard part. Try to bring feed your dog lesser treats and bring him out for longer walk to cut down the weight.
ReplyDeletetekkaus, yes, all in one.. TLC plus must fork out money too.. :)
ReplyDeleteLeon: it is a life time commitment, yes, that is why making decision to get one initially, one must really ponder over carefully.. they are a member of the family later on..
ya, not easy to own pets but my girl has 3 dogs!
ReplyDeleteThank god I don't have a dog :D.
ReplyDeletehahhahahaha...what do you feed labbie? did you bring her to a govt run vet?
ReplyDeletehahaha i'm oW too. T.T
ReplyDeleteHahaha....what do you feed your Labbie? Pork chops is it? Make her do more exercise la....
ReplyDeletelove dogs, but won't know how to take care. labbie looks beautiful! you have done a wonderful job of looking after him. don't look fat. but i guess better take the vet's advice. :(
ReplyDeleteYup, getting a pet dog is a lifetime commitment. Wishing Labbie a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeletewenn: 3 ah.. *pengsan*
ReplyDeletesjb: but they are good companions..
barb: no, private vet.. i fed her rice all these while..
mamapumpkins: yes, now go for evening walks with her.. what to do..both of us also fat one..
tuti: yeah, nowadays eat dog biscuits only.. :p
slavemom: thank you very much..
Hey, RM100.00 is considered cheap already! Last time, I spent over thousands of ringgit on my dogs. One of them went in warding cause hitted by a car and broke it's leg. As I told you so, I'm not into that puppies selling business!
ReplyDeleteNight night,
Kristy
overweight labbie?? *hehe* my house also have an overweight doggie
ReplyDeletekristy: hey, dont frighten me, lady.. thousands? then i go govt clinic... :(
ReplyDelete2ma: u too? so what did u do about it? hahaha...
hahaha... funny la you. well, labbie will start wondering now his meal portions is decreased so much! maybe start chewing on your flowers
ReplyDeleteirene, not to worry, no flowers in my house also..hahaha.. but scared she chews my shoes though..
ReplyDeletebut labbie is very fortunate to have a wonderful, loving and responsible owner like you =) happy for her.
ReplyDeletealot of doggies ends up in shelter when the owners found out they have health probs (T.T)
and, big size dog, labrador included, should not be overweight, else they'll hip dysplasia. medication lagi mahal by then 0.o
btw, labbie is ADORABLE! =D
smallboar, yeah, will reduce her weight gradually.now giving biscuits instead of rice..
ReplyDeletesame with buying an expensive car. nice to look at, nice to drive, but when you sent it to the workshop, woes & more woes!!
ReplyDelete34KGS!! Wah...cannot imagine having such a big dog at home. Maine will ride on the dog and shout Ee-haa!! :D
ReplyDeletedoc: yes.. very true.. it is like an extra member in the family...
ReplyDeleteagnes: ooh. she will love labbie. hahaha.
