Nike's Follow-Up Vet Visit!

Here's what her foster mom had to say:

Nike now weighs 6.6 pounds, so she's plumping up nicely (I even had to loosen her collar the other day)!

She got her first set of shots (2nd set to come in 3 weeks) and a deworming pill. The vet thought that she probably did have worms b/c of her very round tummy and she may need a 2nd pill when she goes back.

She got her first pedicure (those nails were getting long).

The vet thought she might be a lab mix, but he thought she could be mixed with something smaller and not get much above 15-20 pounds.

The thin fur on her belly they thought was probably because of her breed and not because of her parvo.

Overall the vet thought she looked great and like she'd never been sick. She's supposed to be lethargic from the shot, but she's been a wee maniac this morning, so she seems to be impervious to that side effect.

Check out the action shot of her jumping at the camera.

Aww, it's good to know she's getting better. All the dogs under your care are so lucky to have you.

I hope she keps getting better, in fact, I know she will.
