Tuffy vet followup

TGIF...I wanted to thank everyone for the support regarding Tuffy's chin acne and wanted to give a followup. The vet said since topical treatments haven't helped he's putting him on a course of antibiotics (cephalexin) and see if that works. He says that he believes the discoloration on his upper lip is all part of the skin infection. So we'll see what happens. On the plus side, he said that the skin acne (or whatever it is) isn't that bad and that Tuffy's coat is in excellent shape. Tuffy weighed in at 44.5 lbs. He says that's a perfect weight for him (he can see his waist) and that him heavier at this stage wouldn't be a good thing. Although I could have sworn Tuffy would be 50 lbs by now. He's only 7 months so I'm sure he'll still keep gaining though...
