Re: Problems w/ weighing each week.

[Guest guest]

I bought a high quality digital scale and we weigh Langan every day on it. We

sit her on it (she's only 18 months old). With the every day weighing, I feel

like I will notice any strange changes that could be scale-reliability related.

I have a spot on her daily log for weight and time. It works for us and saves

us the trouble of relying on the pediatrician's office. Our dietician also

suggested using your veterinarian if you have one. They have big scales and, if

you see them for your pet I am sure they would be accomodating.

Problems w/ weighing each week.

I had a hard time to day getting 's weight. The pedi office

made us wait and said it could be up to an hour to get the " time " to

do it. It takes like 2 seconds!!!! I also tried the hospital and

they were not helpful either.

Do you weigh your kids at home? is still not standing alone

and I'm not sure how accurate a home scale will be. Please help!

Try your local veterinarian office- We've been goin vor over 5 yrs. Their scale

is both metic and pounds. We even have one of the vets who has been very

interested in the diet- borrowed the book to see if he could figure out a diet

for a dog with seizures. (not sure if that ever worked or not) We can go at any

time they're open and just goto the back and use the scale.

Maybe you should explain to the pediatrician that you aren't simply anal

about your child's weight, but that it is critical to your child's

epilepsy control and treatment. Talk directly to the pediatrician about

it. Maybe you could arrange to go at a time that the office isn't too

busy. We never had to wait. The only trouble we had was that the doctor

always wanted to write us a couple of prescriptions if we weren't quick

enough getting in and out. 8-)
