Max had his free "vet check" today after coming to us from the Humane Society. What better way to remember all the stuff she told us today than by putting it into the blog!
- Big news, we were there less than 10 seconds and she said that Max was likely not a pure bred border collie, but looked like he had parts of labrador retriever or cockerspaniel in him. He could be pure bred but she thought just mostly border collie.
- We thought his red eyes might have been because he was in a smoking home (Ashley) or malnutrition (Lisa). Turns out it may just be natural but most likely it is due to elevated blood pressure due to stress, which of course makes a lot of sense. She noticed it was hugely there when she sat on the floor and pulled him in towards her but then disappeared a few minutes later when he relaxed with her.
- She didn't detect any broken bones from earlier in life like we were told, but his gait is a bit different, though fine.
- He gets his shots in two weeks! Lucky him, uhhhh, I'd be happy to drop him off, drive abut 10 miles away, then come back when it is all done, but no such luck.
