I was a bit nervous taking both dogs to the vet by myself. Last time, Kyle took them, and Savannah decided to provide a stool sample in the middle of the waiting room.
Lucky for me, this time she did much better. Though, maybe it's a good thing Savannah has lost a few pounds, since I had to lift her into the car.
The vet took them back individually; they had trouble getting Reggie to stay still on the scale. They even recommended we rename him "wiggles". This is even more humorous to us, since that is what Kyle and I have said all along. Both dogs got a distemper shot and heartworm check. Since Savannah has been losing so much weight, the doctor checked a stool sample.
Well, they both got perfect report cards (hopefully this little spleckle follows their lead). Neither dog had heartworm (thank goodness) and Savannah's stool sample came back healthy. He said that she is getting old, and not to worry as long as she's eating properly, and still has an upbeat attitude. He recommended we pick up some plain nonfat yogurt (the stuff that Kyle and I accidently bought once, and had to throw out because it tasted awful) and mix a tablespoon in with her food to help keep good bacteria in her system.
We really like our vet. He's nice, knowledgeable and affordable. He spends plenty of time explaining and answering questions.

P.S. I still don't think that I'll be able eat angel hair pasta any time in the near future...
