lazyhound Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hi all Thought I would update you all on the lovely Kofi. Went to the vets yesterday as she has a poorly ear - the vet prescribed some ear drops as she has an inflamed pollip which he is quite sure is nothing sinister. Good news is she weighed in at 39.8kg (in total she's lost 11kg or 1.7 stone in my language). The vet said she could perhaps loose another 1-2 kg. Her skin condition has totally healed up and we should get blood results next Tuesday to see if her thyroid is under control. This girlie really is amazing - she is so sweet and impeccably behaved - the perfect house guest who is going to be extremely difficult to part with (and no you can't smell another failed foster ) Her are some recent photos - the first of which was taken yesterday before the rain set in! src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg67/ni...08/DSC02824.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg67/ni...08/DSC02819.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg67/ni...08/DSC02812.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg67/ni...08/DSC02807.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Well done to you & Kofi. I'd have thought she should be maybe 35kg (or a little less) but is looking good there. I can certainly see why you'd find parting wont be easy I'm told Kofi has an equally lovely nature so should make anybody looking for an older girl a fantastic addition to their family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly1712 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wow, she's looking fantastic Well done Nikki, you've worked wonders with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazyhound Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 The photos taken in the garden and kitchen were taken a couple of weeks ago and she has since lost nearly 3kg. Originally the vet said we needed to get her down to 30kg, but now you can feel her spin and and her last couple of ribs. She looks just right at the back end but is still quite thick set in the shoulders which makes her look big. I would certainly like her to loose another couple of kilos as she's a bit dodery on her hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissa Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 She looks fantastic - you have worked wonders, just shows what the right care & attention can do She seems such a lovely gentle natured dog too, sitting there with the two teeny cats - she is lovely & yes very hard to part with I should imagine but I bet she gets snapped up as soon as she goes on the website!

lazyhound Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thank you all for your very kind words and votes of confidence - I must say though and I am sure you'll agree - these puppies give an awful lot more back than we give (sounds cornie but it's so true) - we really love having Kofi around, she is so easy going and sweet natured. We will miss her so much when she finds a home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wow! She looks fab Nikki, well done! I should think she's a bit easier to lift into the car now Dougie looks lovely too Just like my old Reggie, who's very sadly no longer with us. Are you going to start a Fat Club for dogs?
