I'll join those who are reassuring the poster and I suspect that
three replies now make it obvious that among the factors to
consider is the individual's build. Warp is 7 and 1/2 years old
and has her share of old age problems but she is still the fastest
runner we have here and also a fine wrestler. She has always
been a skinny-minnie, and we hope to have her around for a
long time, yet.
What is more of a problem often is a marked or steady
unexplained change in weight.
