I brought him inside when Redbud & Mikey were about two months old & Blackie was approx 1 1/2 yrs old. I believe
Blackie is now about 13 yrs old.


Kuhio98,

Blackie also has hair loss on his ankles. The kidney is definately impacked by this condition. It has to
work harder because of increased water intake. The Vet said his heart was beating too fast & he detected
a heart murmur. He said all of the other organs have to work harder because of the thyroid problem .
