Friends, I had another check with the v*t and it's more good news! I've put on a small amount more weight and I now weigh 7 kilos
which is not far off the optimum weight for my size. Aunty Alison the v*t was very pleased with me and says there is no need for
further lab tests as long as I continue to do well. Dad and Mum are very pleased and relieved too!

Dad: reducing Pooch's medication for his skin problems seems to have helped things to settle down, a huge relief to find Pooch recovering the lost weight.
The challenge now will be to try to keep his severe atopic dermatitis under control with reduced medication and the pollen season upon us...
By the way, the slightly mucky nose and chin are due to an illicit DIGGING session in the garden this evening - very naughty indeed!
