First Vet Experience... 12/16/2011
The pups had a "house call" last evening from my friends, Cherese, a veterinary technician, and Diane, a veterinarian, for health checks and first vaccinations. I set up my show table, and voila! -- a mini vet clinic. The good news is that ALL pups checked out just fine! All pups are sound. Vet Check: Eyes, ears, mouths -- NO issues. Males -- ALL have two testicles already descended. Heart -- NO MURMURS. Patellas -- ALL NORMAL, NO LUXATION from trochlear groove. DPV Vaccine -- NO REACTIONS. Weights at 9 weeks, 1 day (pounds): Echo -- 5.6 Winne -- 6.0 Minne -- 5.0 Wasatch -- 6.6 Tahoe -- 6.0 Pups did not even know they received a vaccination, as I fed them small pieces of shaved cheese for them to gnaw at while Cherese prepped the vaccine and Diane injected. Then Cherese and I weighed each pup, again using "cheese" to keep them still on the scale. Their first vet experience was very positive. After health checks, we all sat around and played with puppies. THANK YOU CHERESE AND DIANE!!! Later this afternoon, they will get another worming and nail trim (when they are sleeping). The first pup leaves tomorrow -- one of the girls. I hope to get some video later today of all the pups playing together. Tonya is coming over this afternoon for photos, too.
