Dan and I took Boo-Bear to the vet yesterday. The waiting room was super crowded and we had to wait for about 30 - 40 minutes. (it's a clinic, they don't do appointments, walk in only) So we go back to the room and told them the story, he was found in a dumpster, dunno how old he is / what kind he is, asked for a complete checkup and his first set of shots.
Poor Boo :( lol
They stuck a swab in each ear, stuck something up his butt to get a stool sample, gave him two shots, and mean ol' mommy and daddy (me and Dan) wouldn't even let him play with the other doggies and kitties in the waiting room.
It only took a couple of minutes for the results. No worms, YAYYY!!! (but I kinda knew that cause I checked his poo every time he went the entire first week we had him). They said he has a kind of mange that's going around right now, it's not bad but he has a little spotting on his forehead, they gave us this one-time flea treatment that's supposed to clear up the mange too. They also said he has some yeast and ear mites in his ears, so we got ear drops to do twice daily. (Didn't I just get done putting ear drops in Spaz's ears? aye yi yi)
They said he's about 4 months old, and a Heinz 57 mix lol .. I asked about him being pitbull and she said yea he does have some in him, cause he has kinda a square head, and she said he also has Shepard in him but I think she said the wrong name, cause he looks nothing like a Shepard. I think he has Doberman in him.
Anyhoo, we have to go back on December 18th for his second set of shots, and to see if the mange / ear mites have cleared up.
Oh yeah, he's 11.5 lbs. and they said he will get big.
---Potty training is going well. Either he's letting me know he has to go, or I've learned how to read him. He's sleeping thru the night on the bed with us. He's not so much chewing things he shouldn't be chewing, but rather carrying things he shouldn't be carrying. LOL .. He likes to carry shoes around with him, and if we leave clothes on the floor he'll drag them around too. The other day he made a pile of shoes in the livingroom while we were out, and got an outfit of mine out of the laundry basket and left it in the hall in a pile (including underwear, socks, tank top, jeans)
