Tink had her annual visit on Thursday morning-- The vet said she looks great. He's impressed with her overall health and thinks her weight is perfect at 15 lbs : ) The vet techs eat her up while we're there too. "she's so cute...look at her!"
One annoying thing is that we still can't get rid of these worms--supposedly round AND hook. This is surprising everyone. We're doing 2 more rounds of panacur to see if we can kick these buggers. If that doesn't work we'll have to see what our other options are.
I asked Dr. Haver about a grade 1 heart murmur that another vet this summer had mentioned her having. (A surprise vet visit shall we say : ) He said yes she did have one but it's not a big deal and not something that he wants me to stress over in any way.
Tink's a healthy little girl. She's been acting GREAT, eating everything, she has lots of energy and she is loving 5 days of vacation that we're all on!! We'll post more pictures of our Christmas adventures soon!

Vet Visit
Well, apparently the drama queen is back sleeping, I've taken over the posting for the night.
Tink and i went over to the vet yesterday to check out some "nebulous things" that nick and I weren't sure about. As soon as Dr. Haver saw her he said "wow, look at her coat...she looks like a different dog!" (Tink would have been mortified to go to the vet dirty!) He checked her all over making comments about how wonderful she is (of course!) and gave her a clean and bump free bill of health!!! YAY!!!!
We also dropped some of Miss Tinker's, ummm, finer things in life, for a little looksie and come to find out she has some round worm eggs in her poop! Dr. Haver was almost as surprised as I was! We've been giving her DE (Diatomacious Earth) which is supposed to be a natural wormer...we will be giving this whole worming issue another serious look. blah
anyways, a little pyrantel yesterday and some more for in a few weeks and i guess we're back on track.
We weighed her while we were there....the little porker weighs 15lbs!!! The vet likes her weight so we'll keep her there. It must be all muscle!!! She's carrying it well in anyways!
So overall a good vet visit! onward we go!
