The test results have come back for my bloodwork and I'm perfect (I could have told them that) and the results for my bile acid test are perfectly normal.
So now we need to figure out how to get me to stop Airelicking~
A few weeks ago, I switched my kibble from Wellness puppy to Fromm puppy. I wasn't having the licky problem when I was on Wellness but I also wasn't teething.
Mom has decided to switch me back to Wellness to see if it makes a difference. So this is where we will start.
I got to go shopping with her today to get my Wellness and I met two pups from rescue that were looking for homes. I was very well behaved and so were they.
After our shopping trip, mom and I headed back to Crump's to give dad and Mitch a hand with our latest cupola project.
We want to thank you all so much for your thoughts and crossed paws and wonderful suggestions. We appreciate them all and we may be using them all in the coming weeks! Thank you - thank you!
Love ya lots,
MollyMuffin
So glad to hear all the blood work came back normal. Looks like you and Mitch had fun "helping" with the cupola project.

P.S. Thanks for your prayers for Nina. She has improved with her treatment and is eating better but isn't out of the woods yet.
We missed yesterday's post, but it sure sounds to us like it has to be somehow related to your food change. Maybe something in that Fromm's makes your mouth itchy? Hope the return to Wellness makes the lickies go away.

That's great news. Go away lickies!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the food swap! Glad all the tests came back perfect too!
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch and Molly, hopefully the switch back to your before food will do the trick. We're glad that the tests all came back "normal".
ReplyDeleteso glad that you are all normal, yes, we all knew that!! bol Hope the food thing works.

PeeEssWoo: Great news on the results!
That's great news! At least it's not physical. Can't wait for updates on the food change!
ReplyDeleteWe are glad to here your blood work came back normal - so maybe you are just a little bit silly?
ReplyDeleteMom can't wait to see the cupola installed!
Sam
Oh whew, Molly - I'm so glad to hear that it isn't anything sinister!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was just a silly habit you developed? You know how sometimes us doggies can develop a neurotic habit - the way humans chew their fingernails or keep swinging their legs or something - I've heard that some dogs can just start doing that sometimes. Like licking themselves compulsively. So maybe it's something like that? Maybe your humans can teach you an appropriate alternative behaviour to do whenever you start airlicking and reward you for doing that instead...and maybe be careful of not rewarding you with any attention when you're doing the airlicking?
Good luck!

Molly, we didn't leave a comment yesterday but we have been thinkin' about you all day and prayin' that the results from your tests would be fine. We are thrilled to hear that there's nothing wrong. We thought maybe you had something stuck in the roof of your mouth but the doctor would have seen it, wouldn't she? We hope the change in dogfood takes care of the lickin'. Maybe your mom could give you a dessert after dinner and then you wouldn't lick? Hugs to you from Hannah and Nancy.
ReplyDeleteHello! I saw that I followed yous blog but I never really read your posts though, I love your blog!!
ReplyDeleteI is gonna be coming back here!
See ya,
Cotton.
Hooray!!!! So glad to hear that your test results were good, Molly!
ReplyDeleteThat was great that your mom took you for food shopping and hope the food swap works so you don't have this Airelicking problem anymore.
Any yogurt and ice-cream?
Mmmm, food gud. :)
ReplyDeleteHope the food is okay. I, Daisy, have a problem with grains, so we all have no grain food.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
My hmuan and I are so pleased to read that your tests came back all OK!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Riley
Glad all your tests came back good, that's a relief!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if your Airelicking will be cured by a switch of food, Molly. Our Gracie is 3 years old and is still a fearsome licker. Kisses all around!
ReplyDeleteGood news on the blood tests.
cheers,
Ruby and Gracie
SO glad that your test results came back A-OK!! Could it be possible that you got some fuzz from toys or tennis balls stuck in your throat?? Just a thought! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteWere so happy that all is ok! One day when she's a grown-up lady you'll remind her of this. She'll try to deny it of course. How embarrassing - scaring everyone by going through the obsessive flappy tongue phase.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she has an imaginary friend and she's giving them a good old face washing?
Molly so glad you are OK and there is nothing really too serious to worry about. Have a brilliant Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Oh, thank God! I'm a worrier, and that video clip looked a bit scary.
ReplyDeleteNow this might sound a bit simplistic, but do you have some long weedy grass at your place? Penny eats grass when her diet is not quite agreeing with her, and there's lots of evidence that dogs use grass to settle their digestion. Penny scares me sometimes, grazing for up to ten minutes, like a sheep, chomping the grass and definitely swallowing it. It comes out the other end just as it went in, all folded up, still looking green and fresh. Or she vomits it up, all similarly folded up and neat.

Hey! So glad to hear that all is well. Have fun! XRos and Oscar
ReplyDeleteWe are happy your tests were all normal Molly.
ReplyDeleteLove Ruby & Penny
Btw - Ruby did that when her molars were falling out. I think food got caught under them.
Molly,
ReplyDeleteWe are sorry you had to go to the Vet. But we are glad you are a healthy girl.
You like your antlers too??? Mom just put one out yesterday and I realized how much I missed them. I like my white teeth from the Antlers. Not much plaque build up when I get my teeth cleaned at the groomers. Good stuff.
You are growing so darn fast. Please so down.....
Violet and mom
I am very happy that Molly's checkup was good, and I hope that the food swap works!
ReplyDeleteYou don't know it... but you are one of my inspirations. You had to let sweet Maggie go but you've found your way back toward happiness. I know that you still miss her - but you put one foot in front of the other and it looks like you've emerged from the grief fog.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Always love a good report from the vet. Totally worth the pain, isn't it. Love the pictures of you guys playing to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday
Bert
YEA!! Good news there Molly! I think Moms is right with thinkin' it's just you teethin'. I think when your done teethin', you'll stop lickin'! But, can't hurt switchin' your foodables back thou. Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby
Molly-
ReplyDeleteGlad you are a healthy Aire-Girl. I get itchy when mom switches my food too. So, we found the right stuff for me and we stick to it.
Wyatt

ReplyDeleteMolly, we're so glad you're in pawfect condition.:)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Teddy Bear & Sierra
hi molly!
ReplyDeleteoh we are so glad you are perfect, but you are right! we could have helped tell everyone that!
we love you!
xoxoxo
m & a
Glad the test results are ok!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm glad all your bloodwork came back good, Molly! Did you know that my Cuzin Bridger has done that Airelick thing most of his life? And he's not even an Airedale! They've done tests on him, too, but he's fine. It just seems to be something he does.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if switching you back to Wellness helps, though!
Wiggles & Wags,
Mayzie
Pawfect result!! Sometime human vets should listen to us doggies' instinct! :) :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your barkday wishes to our brudder.
Happy Monday!

Molly, we wonder if you're licking just cuz you're teething? You sure look cute when you airelick, though!
ReplyDelete-Bart and Ruby

ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
