visiting the vet, and then visiting Millhouse

Today was a strange day. The sky wanted to release some rain, but nothing precipitated.

This morning we walked the small block loop. Half an hour later, Margie arrived and we went to visit the vet. We used the scales and Kane now weighs 39.2 kg (86.4 lb), his ideal weight.

Kane was given a C5 vaccination (against Parvovirus, Distemper, Canine Infectious Hepatitis, Bordetella and Canine parainfluenza virus). He also received a 'booster' of Pentosan for his arthritis, with another three injections over the next three weeks. It was back on 26 April that Kane was first on Pentosan and he was much heavier then, at 45.2 kg.

The vet also recommended Drontal worming tablets. In fact, I had not been worming him over the last 12 months. Oh dear. Must remember them at the supermarket.

At the vet clinic, we met some cool dogs, especially Lindsay a Bouvier Des Flandres who I thought was an English Sheepdog/Poodle cross. She was very friendly. Her paw was injured and the skin had come off near a claw. Poor puppy.



After a short rest after returning home, we walked to the shops via the woods and Millhouse's place to say hello. Millhouse had company, a poodle called Gretel. After the shops, we didn't go around the complex, but walked straight home via the alleys. It's a decent length walk these days for Kane.

We did have a date arranged with Millhouse at Cook oval, but Kane was tired after the shop walk.
