D-Day (Heart worm results)

This week, we received a Whatssap reminder for Hiro's post heartworm treatment check up. 

As usual, the boy was happy for the vet visit because of all the attention he gets from the doctors and nurses. Also, all the doggy friends he meets in the waiting room.






















With the conditional MCO, we had to still wear our face masks and wait outside until the earlier patient exits. The boy was mighty kan cheong to go inside on arrival.

Since January, he lost a lot of weight due to his prolonged antibiotic medication. At its lowest, it was 32 kg. Now, he has truly gone over the opposite end of the scale. With the MCO, they could not go for their regular walks and increase meal frequency (my fault). Dr. Doris says he has to get back to 32 kg. I agreed too.
The good news is the boy is tested as heartworm-free! He will need to take his monthly heartworm tablets.

So now, everyone is strictly on 2 meals a day. Intra-day snacks are limited to fruits until further notice. We need to go to the vet soon enough for his annual vaccination. He has to go for the full complete 9-in-1 version to cover additional exposures.... since he already has a record of eating rats!

Life after MCO

It was Day 2 of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).

My dog walker suddenly turned up at my gate!

My girl was super excited since she had't gone for a walk for almost 2 months. The boy was super blur because he was jolted up from his afternoon nap. Glad they can get some exercise now. Had trouble fastening Hiro's harness around his body.... means he has fatten up post-antibiotic medication. Now, he needs to watch his weight since he is eternally hungry at home.



Sometimes, the kids and their walker have tea before walking. Everyone is served the same portion from the food menu of the day.

Home dining

The kids have gone from two meals a day to when-I-eat, they-eat-too arrangement. Simply speaking, my meals always get hijacked.
