Check Up

Teddy bear Kearney says hello everybody! All went well at the vet check up today!

Waiting...Introducing Dr. Love (not kidding) of the Greer Clinic at Pet Helpers. Ran through the basics of any doctor visit for tiny beings... eating schedule, poo schedule, funny incidents and sleeping habits. These three are all rolling along just fine except for the poo. I won't unsettle anyone with details, let's just say there was a lot of discussion about a bit of an irregular poo situation. Instructions are to keep watch and see if their little tummies will settle in the next few days. If not, medicines will have to be administered.
All vitals strong; heart rate, eyes, ears, vocal cords....

And the all important temperature. Puppy temperatures in the third week should stay above 99 degrees. Now that they are a bit stronger and wigglier, it's less about getting an accurate reading and more about making sure that they are at least within range. I don't blame you little buddy, I prefer the under the tongue method myself.

And in this corner... weighing in at 2.5 pounds...

Seamus and Kearney are both two and a half pounds, while Bailey is a slim two and a quarter pounds. They have doubled in size in just the few days! Yikes!

It's a relief to know that all is well and that they are each strong and healthy. Now I'm off to make new calculations for feeding time... I think they are big enough now for that extra 1 oz. shot of formula in their bottle!
