He went for his first CAV visit in February a few days after I got him. 9 months old, full work-up except sex DNA, and all was good.
Vet warned me that Amazons are susceptible to overweight (true, or maybe just YNAs?) and he eats like a maniac, albeit mostly the fresh stuff. But who am I to know if I’m giving him too much of the other stuff?
Also, nails are really long and dig in hard to bare arms. (Doesn’t bother me, but my wife kvetches about it.) Is it common to need clipping at just 1 year old now? I gotta assume it’s diet related.
So if you’re having another “exam” and nail clipping after just 3 or 4 months, what else should be involved? I assume no lab work if no problems present themselves.
