Puppy Update - Week 5
Jun. 23rd, 2011 09:05 pmI don't think I did a proper puppy update, last week.
There wasn't much change. We had a few days with some piddle accidents, but none for a while.
I was supposed to do vaccinations last Friday, but I was confused by having 2 syringes with 4 needles for 3 vials, one of which seemed to contain a solid rather than a liquid. And there was no information about how much to give. And then I was avoidy about calling the vet.
I finally called and actually giving the vaccines wasn't bad. The first one was hard (for me). I almost wimped out when I was trying to get the angle right on the needle before jabbing the pup. Once I got over that, it wasn't bad at all. Cody didn't seem to mind at all.
Teething has really started, now. He lost two front teeth, yesterday, and I can already see the grown-up teeth coming in.
Oh, and - I swapped out the small collar we started with for his real collar, today. The small one was just on the verge of too tight, and it couldn't expand any more.
