Update on Jake.

We’ve just spent the afternoon at the Vets. They did blood work on Jake and everything is Normal. YES!!

She did a QBC, Comprehensive Panel, and a heart worm check (it was in the one group) and Jake is fine. His blood count is up where it should be. She checked him for Lyme disease and all the other known tick diseases and nothing. She also did a urinalysis and that was normal too, kidneys were fine. I lost a horse to kidney failure and I never want to go through that again, it was terrible.

She said because he is a puppy and puppies need to build up their blood count, that may have been why it was low. Or it possibly could have been stress from flying down here, being in a new environment (hot/muggy)….But he’s fine. I breathed a sigh of relief, LOL….I am so thankful, I’ve been praying that Jake would be okay.

He is going to get neutered next Monday. Not a moment to soon if you ask me, he is starting to notice female dogs, LOL….

We graduate from our intermediate class in Obedience in two weeks. Jake is doing great, he is such a smart dog. There was a Client in the vet office that fell in love with Jake. He is so laid back and everyone who meets him falls in love. I was laughing at him as he just lay down in the front waiting area and just stretched out and made himself at home. Everyone was laying on the floor petting and loving him and of course Jake was grunting and groaning, soaking it all up!!

oh so happy that Jake is okay! I know you were very worried! I'll be thinking of him next Monday for sure! At least the vet erred on the side of caution!
