Updates
Fleas, Tapes and other worms, Loose stool - oh MY!
Right about now is when this stuff is going to start showing up. The pups are due for the next (and last) parvo combo shot in the next few days and the flea prevention... Advantage... is starting to wear off. Tape worms... the ones that look like rice... are caused by the dog swallowing a flea. The little buggers do not have to be on the animal; they can be in the grass or hitching a ride on someone's clothing. Generally, tapes are not particularly harmful to the dog BUT they do have a high ugh! gross! factor. One pill from the vet... or if you prefer, there is a monthly heartworm preventative which also prevents tapes. Ask your vet if Iverheart Max is available. It also prevents round worms (look like spaghetti) and probably most of the others (yes, there are others!) as well. Loose stool, at this stage, is usually caused by coccidia and/or giardia, both of which live in the digestive tract and are shed during periods of stress. Both are easily and inexpensively treated with Albon or metronidazole. (The latter is marketted as Flagyl for human consumption for the same problem.)

Someone sent me this several years back and it always brings a smile to my face!

All Gone But One
Remy and Beckett flew out this morning, together in the same crate. They're going to be living within a short distance of each other in Salt Lake with families that are friends. Which means they'll get to see lots of one another.
Remy weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces at the vet on Tuesday
and Beckett was 13 pounds 8 ounces.
It is interesting to me that the pups are in the same formation, size-wise, at 3 months as they were at birth:
Elliott and Beckett the largest with Spider and Brother the smallest and in between, from larger to smaller, are Marco, Charlie, Remy and Lola. That seldom happens. And there WAS some shifting around getting to this age.
Which leaves Spider
Gonna have to get serious about finding her a home now that everyone else is gone. Of course, Wombat will miss her terribly, but maybe she'll develope some manners if she has to deal with adult dogs rather than a pup that is half her size!
