Last Monday, Michelle and Stephanie (me!) took Emmie to the vet for her required baseline physical. We went to the Animals' Hospital of Levittown at the recommendation of two of my co-workers. We had to wait for quite a while but Em was content to sniff as much of the waiting room as the leash would allow! Once we got in the exam room, she jumped right up on the scale/exam table. As expected, Dr. Kearse found that Emmie is in great health & a really terrific dog :) She's up-to-date on all of her shots & weighs the perfect amount for a female lab her size (68 pounds- but don't let that get out... )
Dr. Kearse agreed that Emmie probably has allergies (she's been chewing on her feet & we've noticed bloodshot eyes) and recommended Benadryl. So it's official- everyone in the house has bad allergies! We're quite a group!
We've stock up on heartworm preventative & Frontline for the ticks/fleas and we hope we won't be seeing Dr. K until next September!
Glad Emmie passed her physical! I always wondered how you know if you are feeding an animal enough or too much! Continue to have fun with her. Good luck getting the fence in. Love, Mom P.
