Yuba's Valiant Loss to the Vile Medicine Syringe
Yuba last night at Naomi's rental house in Yubari. Recently, Yuba had a bought of bloody coughing which resulted in a trip to the vet. The vet wasn't concerned and thinks it may be related to constipation (the body is just a very complex hydraulic system) and gave Yuba more laxative and some medicine to heal the bleeding. Yuba really doesn't like taking medicine and it appears he and Naomi struggled a bit because you can see some dried medicine on his fur.
Of greater concern is Yuba's heart. Right now, it's fine but at his age, and more importantly weight, the vet was concerned he may develop heart disease. She recommended Yuba take some medicine to help prevent that. She also recommended Yuba loose weight. His weight a few years ago was 11kg and is now down to 8.5kg (and he lost 100g over the past month). At his age (he's over 15 now), we take his health very seriously and so will start him on his heart medicine.
