MIA Eats an Antler

A friend of mine found an antler the other day and grabbed it for me. It isn't a freshly shed one, but it isn't too old- only a year.

MIA wasn't sure about it at first, but quickly realized it was good.

My flash wasn't working because my cell phone battery was low, but I got a few good pictures on my camera that I will upload and share soon.

These antlers are packed with calcium and minerals that dogs love

While she was gnawing on it, I swear she was cracking teeth, but all is well. I didn't let her eat the whole thing because I didn't want her to get sick since it was her first and sometimes she gets an upset stomach, but that is not surprising from a dog who has gone through chemotherapy and leg amputation.

Anyway, when I took it away, she hauled butt after me trying to get it back. Apparently deer antlers are yummy.

I will try to get better pictures uploaded soon.

MIA's Vet Appointment at Auburn University

Mia had her monthly visit today at Auburn. She's been acting puny, but apparently all is well. I'm thinking it was just the food. I got the wrong flavor (turkey instead of red meat), and she's not been eating it.

She had her bloodwork checked out, as well as medicine refills for  chlorambycil, piroxicam, and rapamycin. She didn't need the famotidine, a she still has some left over, since that's an as-needed medication for her stomach.

Mia will go back next month to repeat this visit, and then the following month for her big exam which basically adds a physical and radiographs of the chest.
