Went up to the vet today to get the rabies vaccination (with all the excitement of the last few visits, we kind of overlooked that!) Ruby has gained another 1/2 a pound so she is up to 41.4- great victory for her! She is looking pretty close to where she needs to be, maybe another 3 pounds or so.
Her lungs were clear, and there was no murmur in her heart, so she is still doing well in that department too! On New Years Day she will get her first treatment of heartgard- we are doing half of the normal dosage for the first two months, and will go from there to a normal dose in March. We have also noticed that her dry cough is now almost gone... we very rarely hear her cough anymore!!
Ruby has such a beautiful attitude... what a joy to have in our home. She has really made her own way into all of our hearts, and we just can't imagine what it was like before she came to be with us. Ok, maybe we can, but she has such a happy go lucky outlook on life that all of us smile just to see her! She even spoils our big pointer boy Rugby, by taking naps with him.
Everyone at the vets gave her special attention today, and told her what a good girl she is. We will have to give her a little talk on how not to let things go to her head!!!
Ruby stats: weight: 41.4, lungs: clear, heart: normal beat, continuing on her doxy treatment. Attitude: positive, energy level: normal. Miscellaneous info: No/rare dry cough, hair loss almost normal, new growth coming in well, and SHINY!
