Happy Thanksgiving!
I have been swamped with work recently, so I apologise for not getting the news up on the site. Sparky has been progressing quickly over the past weeks and I am very proud of him!
We were at the vet's office two days ago and I am very pleased to report that Sparky now tips the scale at 60 pounds. (That's 6.5 pounds lost so far for all those of you who are counting!)
I am not expecting this pace to maintain itself, as the first pounds are always the easiest, but in any case it is great progress!
As a result of the weight loss Sparky can actually sleep comfortably on his side and more importantly get himself up, which was very difficult for him to do when he arrived.
His strenth on the stairs is improving as well. The apartment building stairs are still a bit of a challenge, (mainly due to the pitch of the stairs), but Sparky is now able to almost run up the stairs in the park.
He is still clearing out the last of the tapeworms and yesterday we found (and killed) a flea on his shoulder. I am taking both Winnie and Sparky to the vet tomorrow to get them started on Frontline. (Sparky is supposed to already be on Frontline, but apparently not!)
Sparky and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
