[Dailydrool] Mango on the mend

[surferdogs at comcast.net]

Thought I'd post a quick up date on Mango. She's doing great. She got her staples out today, so is naked for the first time since coming to live with me. We weighed her and she is now 43.6 lbs, up from 42.2 when she first arrived, so heading in the right direction. She is still skinny, but the ribs don't stick out quite so far. I need to talk to the vet to see if we can do further testing to check if her Lyme dz is active or if she just has antibodies from prior exposure. I don't want to give her the doxycycline and mess with her appetite if I can help it. If we are going to treat, I want to get a little more weight on her first, in case it does affect her stomach. I'm anxious to see if she gets more active now that the stapes are out. She healed well, but those long rows of staples had to pull when she moved, so I would think she feels great now that they are gone. :-) 

Synthia, so many bellies to rub, so little time
