It’s about that time!!! Iggy’s puppies went to the Vet today. Everyone had a Wellness Exam, their first parvo vaccine, a fecal test, and microchipped. The little tater tots are HEALTHY lil SQUIRTS! No Open Fontanelles, No Heart Murmurs, and the Fecal Test was negative for parasites. JOEY and LIL LANCE have a grade I luxating patella on one of their back legs, but the Vet said there is a chance it will correct itself as the puppy grows. This is VERY common among small dogs, especially yorkies. I encourage ALL of my new owners to put their puppy on glucosamine. This stuff is excellent for puppy’s joint and cartilage development. The brand I prefer is: Nutramax Cosequin Maximum Strength Joint Health Supplement for Dogs – With Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM, 60 Chewable Tablets
