8 week old vet visit

It was a big day today. They pups had their first vet visit, vaccines, deworming, and flea/tick/heartworm meds to give them at home.

Here are the puppies' weights:

Pluto - 10.5 lbs

Comet/Charlie - 7.31 lbs

Hope/Gracie - 6.75 lbs

Peace - 7.88 lbs

Jingle/Paisley - 7.06 lbs

Angel 7.38 lbs

Alexis/Coco - 7.38 lbs.

They were also dewormed again with Pyrantel.

The vet sent home their next deworming medication, Strongid, for 10 days from now. (So if you are taking your puppy home next weekend, I will send you home with this dose.)

Tomorrow, I'll give them NexGard for flea and ticks in the morning, then Heartgard in the evening for heartworm. By giving them at different times, we'll know what they're reacting to if they have any reactions.

So the follow-up care for these puppies is as

follows:

2-20-24 dewormer

Sometime between 3-2 and 3-9 they are due for their booster vaccines.

So this is a little less cute of a post than most, but important housekeeping, nonetheless!
