Last Saturday we took Oshie in for one of his bi-annual checkups. We generally don’t have any concerns and have been fortunate to have such a healthy pup.
He went through the gamut of vaccinations and blood drawings and we also had a small bump under his skin checked (too small to cut off and test so we are keeping an eye on it). We also asked the vet about his panting which he seems to do often. She said it could be related to a thyroid issue and they could run a test for us.
Of course we had that done and we received good news. Everything is normal on the thyroid front and Oshie just gets excited and hot easily (he does have a thick coat lol).
So we left the Vets office with an almost clean bill of health, Oshie is up a few pounds from his last visit so we need to cut back on his food. He also got some pretty purple bandages where they drew blood ha ha ha!
Happy even with purple bracelets.

It’s always nice to get a clean bill of health, and purple is my favorite color so I think those armbands are stunning. Here’s to a long, healthy, and happy life for Oshie!
P.S. Our first Golden was a little “full-figured,” so the vet ran a thyroid test on her. Turns out she was fine . . . except that she had to go on a little diet. 😉

It is! We are lucky and happy we have such a healthy boy. He is definitely full figured so a diet is in order 😄❤

Sorry to for the late reply and sorry to hear that you lost your sweet little pug. Dogs really are the best friend you can ever ask for.

My experience is that panting is pretty normal for a Golden. The two I have had would pant if it was over 68 degrees in the house. I think they just get hot from their heavy coat.

Thanks. We are thinking the same at this point and the vet doesn’t think it is a problem either. Pant away Oshie lol.
