I have not been on much lately because I had finals, then driving from MO to AZ for the summer with animals, and then off to a family vacation. I am so happy to be back posting on YT again, unfortunately my post is not happy.
My family had a vacation planned to HI before I got Lola. I know that I should have waited and gotten a puppy after, but I just COULDN'T. I decided to board her at a fancy pet resort where she got to play with other dogs outside in the grass. When I picked her up I noticed a bit of sneezing/coughing and gave it a day, but she did not get better so we went to my mom's vet and sure enough she has a upper respiratory infection and is on antibx. She clamped her mouth shut when I tried to give them to her, so now I put a bit of peanut butter on the end and she takes in the syringe and I give a quick squirt. Poor thing has vomited twice even though she takes it with food. The good news is that she doesnt seem to be very bothered by being sick. He appetite and energy is good and the vet says that it's not in her lungs yet.
Also, I am sure that you all can imagine the shape her coat is in being there for 9 days. I got the baby detangler that has helped some but she is so squirmy that I have resorted to cutting. Slowly I'm picking through it, trying to save as much as we can.
And our last issue is a cyst left from her last vaccine. She bleed alot and swelled up shortly after and now it is smaller and harder. The vet here said that is not an uncommom reaction with the rabies shot so hopefully it will go away. The shot was on 5/11 so its been a while.
With all of those troubles, Lola is still doing great. She LOVES playing with all of my mom's BIG dogs. I'll post pics of that soon. She is in great spirits and is learning alot. I'm sure she'll miss AZ when we go back to school in August. Well, that is our update. She'll be 4 months tomorrow and weighs 2 lbs 11 oz. Her head is really grey, but I can see some small redish hairs poking up. Its going to be so exciting to watch her change!
