Jax's 8 week old trip to the vet

JAXSMOM · 07-10-2010, 03:42 PM

Jax went to the vet today. Veternarian said he looked like a different puppy. He weighs 4.6lbs and is doing great. The vet said that the paw issue is a result of being malnourished and she put him on Microvet and said that should strengthen the ligaments in his paws and correct the problem.He did have hookworms and is on pyrantal for that which she said is not uncommon in a puppy. Other than that we got a clean bill of health. We are very happy about his visit.

Sounds like you're taking very good care of him. Enjoy this time while he's little. They grow SO fast.
