Veterinary Visit -- First Shots and Deworming

Your puppies had a veterinary visit today with Dr. Sharon Kensek at the Lee's Hill Pet Hospital.

She reported the following:  I have examined Dixie's Litter of 5 Minature Schnauzers born 7/30/10 and found the pet(s) to be healthy and free of any infectious diseases.  This pet is in my opinion in good condition to travel nationally or internationally without the risk of issues.

Each new family will receive the letter verifying this information when they pick up their puppy.

The puppies weights were as follows:

Yoshi --5 lbs
Jet -- 4.75 lbs
Chloe --4.5 lbs
Max -- 4 lbs
Coco-- 3.5 lbs


Each puppy recieved a deworming using Strongid, as well as the following vaccines:

Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Coronavirus

The puppies are building up an immunity against these diseases but are still at risk when you take them home.  The boosters will be needed between 10-12 weeks of age, and then again at 16-18 weeks of age.

IMPORTANT:
Until the puppies have completed all their shots it is very important not to take them out in public...walks in the park, walks in the Pet store, and avoid having them run around the veterinary waiting rooms.  They should not be exposed to other pups under 6mths of age.  Most puppy diseases are airborne and can kill a puppy...the veterinary care to fight these illnesses in a sick puppy can be very expensive.  Please keep your puppy safe.  When you must take them out in public, hold them in your arms, or keep them in their crate.
