First off welcome to the group! And secondly congrats on your new baby.
When I first got Deegan I brought him to the vet to get a check up to make sure that he was healthy. They only test that they did was on his stool sample. Then the doctor listened to his heart and lungs, and checked out his teeth, eyes, ears, and to see if his testicles had dropped.
I was also told that he must be put on heartworm medications too until the month of Nov or Dec, (can't remember).
But if I were you I would take him to the vet for an overall check-up. Because should there be anything wrong with him health wise, you may only have a certain period of time to where you can return him to the breeder, depends whats in your contract. Plus, the vets bill will give you proof that he was seen by a DMV. And like I said earlier, he definatley needs to get on heartworm meds asap.
It's nice that your friend wants to help, and he still can probably look him over for a second opinion. But if he doesn't have access to do a stool sample or have heartworm meds, it wouldn't be much help. |
