Oh, gee, you didn't need to worry about both your kids! I can tell that vet loves animals, though. Our little Poquita would've had a heart attack at the sight of a German shepherd that near her. Zari did really very well. The whimpering at a touch was back pain with Poquita (a 5 lb chi/pom.) She had hurt her back jumping off an RV step before we could grab her, and it bothered her ever after. I suppose pain could put one off her feed, in some dogs. I hope you find out what's going on. Zari still looks great. Funny that you were the local entertainment that day, as the natives had never seen a one-eyed, Canadian chihuahua before. :B
