I so empathize with you!! When we got Malone at first I worried all the time. Watch his poops & eating habits (when something is wrong, those are the first to show it) and if he is so lethargic that he doesn't want to wake up. And if you get worried, just call your vet and tell them what is going on, and they can usually give you peace of mind about it. Hope this helps, and don't worry!!!!!
