Our 1st trip to the vet

Well, today was the big day -- first time for a car ride (no one got sick - yeah!!).  Aunt Kathy was able to go with us and help carry the crate into the vet's office -- needless to say - we make a statement when we arrived -- a crate full of absolutely darling pups makes every one ooohh and awww!!  Even the people with cats couldn't help but adore them!

Everyone had a clean bill of health:

  • Eyes and eyelids checked
  • Teeth/bite checked
  • Hearts listened to -- check!
  • Check for hernia's -- good to go!!!
  • Ears checked
  • Boys were checked for testicles -- all accounted for!

And - what we all love the best:  we were weighed:

  1. Lexus 4.3 lbs
  2. Casey 4.2 lbs
  3. Elvis 4.9 lbs
  4. Patrick 5.3 lbs (it's all muscle!)
  5. Zoe 4.4 lbs
They all received their 1st set of shots.  You will receive a record of what was given - and should plan on making their next vet appointment in about 3-4 weeks for the next round.  Heartworm is prevalent in our area.  The doctor gave me heartworm pills - which I will give them this weekend.  We don't want to over burden their little systems today with more chemicals.  I was happy with their check-up.  They came home -- played out in the grass - destroyed my tulips -- ate their lunch and are sleeping soundly.
