First Vet Vist

[Jason] On Monday, August 23, 2010 Bennie took his first trip to the vet. He had been coughing and hacking for a little over a day and his coughing got really bad on Monday so Andrea called the vet and asked if he can get in early. When she called she described his symptoms and they said that she had to leave him in the car while she checked in because it sounded like he had Bordatella or "Kennel Cough". Turns that he did have kennel cough along with hook worms!

So he got a bunch of medication and some flea and tick stuff. His cough has been getting better, but it is still persistant. After I got off work, we went to PetSmart (for the 2nd time) and picked up a 2nd crate for him because they had a really awesome deal. The second crate makes it so I can have one at my house, and Andrea can have one at her house. I also bought some more bowls, and a couple more toys.

Afterwards we went to my parents house to pick up some baby gates to help Andrea keep him under control during the day while I'm not around to help out. When we got back from my parents house, Bennie was pretty out of it from his tough day at the vet and being in the crate all day. Overall, the first pet visit went well and he seemed to be unscared from the whole experience.
