Siggy went to the vet today for her first checkup. She got her first booster, worm tested which came back positive for round and hook worm. They gave her a dose of wormer to start killing them off. They gave me Trifexis for fleas and it treats worms and heart worms also so I thought that was awesome sauce. They weighed her and she only weighs 4.6 lbs at 7 weeks which is really small for her age but he says she looks good and as long as she eats good and keeps growing he wont worry too much. She goes back the 19th for second visit. She was such a trooper and i'm so proud of her. Torvi her sister goes with her the 19th for her visit but the vet gave me a sample of the Trifexis for her so she can get started too. He's a great vet. My fluffy butts are slowly getting to where they need to be.

Hookworms are no joke. My gsd mix had them when I first got him. If left untreated for too long they can kill a dog. Most likely the breeder's adults have them so if you are in contact with her you may urge her to have the adults checked. They are passed very easily. Glad Siggy got a clean bill of health. Fingers crossed Torvi does too and that they start showing some good growth.

Yes I let her know. She said shes gonna take care of it but honestly I dont know if she will. I rescheduled Torvis appt to Monday at 4:30 so she can be treated as soon as possible. Weekends my husband works 16s so that was a no go. Siggy has done started passing the round worms. Weve found two huge piles and ever since shes been way more playful. I hope we caught it in time and they start growing.

Your house is going to be crazy when they both start to feeling better.

I know! Is it crazy i'm excited for it? lol
