Since June is right around the corner, Kia got her full physical.

She's heartworm free and looking good. The sores on her ears are from her allergies. Dr. Kuschel perscribed an ointment for me to put on her ears twice a day. Hopefully that'll do the trick. I need to remember to give Kia Benedryl too.

She's gained 3 pounds too. She's 53 lbs. now.


Liz,

Dr. Kuschel likes to take blood and run a test to make sure there are no heartworms before putting the dogs on a preventative. Kia is only on Hartguard from May to December this year. Last year I had her in in late March so she was on it from April to November.

I guess I could have her on it year round, but it didn't seem necessary in the winter months.
