[QUOTE="donna723, post: 34063, member: 1883"] Mine may have the opposite problem. I have two Boston Terriers and their vet wants to do thyroid tests on one of them, Ragan, and probably start her on medication. Apparently Bostons are very prone to thyroid problems. All of them have big, bulgy eyes, but with Ragan, hers bulge even more than most of them do. Hers are so pronounced that when she sleeps, her eyelids don't completely cover her eyeballs and I have to put ointment in them to keep her eyes from getting little dry patches on her corneas. On the other hand, with eyes that big, she doesn't miss much either! She appears to be very "observant"! She tends to have dry, itchy sensitive skin and is very allergic to both grass(!) and fleas. One little flea on her sends her into scratching fits! None of them can take any extremes in temperature but Ragan is [i]always[/i] cold! Always! When my other one, Katy, is just fine, Ragan is huddled up next to the heater or burrowed under a blanket. Even in the summer with the AC on, or even just the ceiling fan, she's under a blanket! And she eats well but doesn't have an ounce of fat on her anywhere! She's muscular but very slim, even at five years old and after being spayed. [/QUOTE]
