Short update....
Went to the whitecoats today because I found some icky white things in Kirby's poop this AM.
Never saw any previously, so figured get him in there prior to needing the last set of shots. He's on Drontal for the worms, and got his first dose of Heartguard and Frontline free for his first puppy visit and a folder with info for me as well!
Everyone at the vet loved him, lol. He's just so happy and loving of everyone! He weighs 16.6 lbs, and the vet said he looks to be a great weight, and that the hourglass shape is how he should look whether he's 4mos, 4 yrs or 14 yrs old.
She also said he is MAYBE 3.5 months old, and that he is just cutting his baby teeth. Here I thought he might have been older than we thought (size, I guess), but nope, he's younger, lol. Dr. Hess definitely recommends obedience class for him, and she said bassets can be very aggressive when older if not trained properly. Was planning on classes anyway, because he definitely likes to get his own way and "talks" to you when he doesn't.He was being a bit of a brat with Dr. Hess so she put him on his side and he calmed down. Have to remember that trick! She also suggested a sleeping crate as well as a "time out" crate. Will have to pick another crate up, because that was a good suggestion. I'm going to pick up more puppy food tonight, as well as get some other treats.
I guess that's all for the update. He got his distemper and rabies shots tonight as well. So, I guess he's up to date on shots (unless he still needs that last set, will have to check closely on the receipt from the vet).
Whew!!! Kirby really is a handful, but so worth it!! He's just such a love!
