Molly and the Vet

Molly will not be getting off leash for a while. She bolted out the door knowing I was going to take her to the vet on Tuesday, so I had to chase her around the neighborhood for fifteen minutes. We got there only five minutes late, luckily, but if she had gotten hit by a car it could have been a lot worse.

Her heartworm meds costs 6 months for $120!! And that's at/below retail from what I see on the internet. Yikes.

Also got her vaccines (parvo and lepto) on 5/8/2012 so she'll need to go back for a booster in June. But this means she can go play with other dogs!

Otherwise vet exam turned out all good and clear. She's back to her normal weight so I'm gonna have to start exercising again.

Back home from the vet

Had a good talk with the vet today. Diarrhea problem persists, but the problem seems to be a stress-related bacteria increase so got some antibiotics and diarrhea medication to help.

Apparently has had some serious weight loss. Hasn't been eating at all at home, hopefully she'll start to get hungry once the antibiotics help.

Going to the vet was much more stressful than it should have been, but at least I got her checked out. Scheduled for shots, coming up in two weeks. Now resting comfortably on the sofa. Heyyyy that's where I was gonna go after this very long day!

I was trying to figure out what Molly's other half mix was since she's an Akita mix. Closest picture I found was a pitbull-akita mix, so that might hint at her submissive/protective behavior. In any case, she's still the sweetest girl around.
