Lolita (LoLo) had her vet visit today and we have her spay and teeth cleaning set up for the 22nd. She's a little on the skinny side (3lbs 11oz) so we want to try to get some weight on her. The power was out in our area so we couldn't do pre-op blood work today but we will be doing it prior to her surgery as well as checking her for heartworms. I believe she has been on heartworm meds previously but with her history being a bit shaky I want to have her checked before she is given a preventative.
The vet checked her for ear mites and she does have them. She will be getting one drop of Eradimite in each ear every other day for the next 2 weeks.
Her nails were pretty long so I had them clipped but they need clipped back more. They are going to take care of that when she gets spayed. She doesn't care to have this done so I let the vets office be the bad guys.
I talked to the vet about LP. She felt her and said she does pop out on her back legs. She doesn't exhibit any symptoms that she hurts and she does not have any any difficulty getting around. I have not heard any popping sounds either.
There were two medium size dogs in the vets office and she really wanted to go meet them. I wouldn't let her down so she didn't have the opportunity to meet them like she wanted to. I don't let the kids play around at the doctors office... I'm afraid they might catch something that we didn't go in with so movement is always restricted in those situations.
I'm going to get her a bath this weekend and get her washed up. Right now she's a hot mess. lol She needs a sani trim as well as her paw pads trimmed so were going to take care of that as well.
Otherwise she is still doing wonderfully. I'm getting more and more lovings and kisses from her every day. She gets a yogurt drop each day and I have also given her a small hard biscuit just to see how she does with eating it. She does just fine without any help from me breaking them up. |
