I was talking to Doug Dix at the Daytona show, because I have a male Mali that is a bit chubby. We discussed what constitutes "too fat" for a Uro (you want to make sure that their legs don't get fat, that they can still carry themselves around easily). "Congestive heart failure" is something that people have too, like a heart attack? Usually clogged arteries and such? Doug said that congestive heart failure can often occur with obese Uros.
