Lyra nurses the puppies in the back of my SUV before the vet appointment.
Post-nursing/pre-procedure nap.
It's been a long day for Ariel (Gold Girl). You can see the dew claw is removed and surgical glue is applied.
Harley (Green Girl) shows off her newly docked tail.
First vet visit and first car ride - CHECK!
The Easy Riders had a big day -- the headed off in their first car ride (over an hour each way) to Yorba Regional Animal Hospital for a vet check, dew claw removal and tail docking. The puppies did well, Lyra was a bit worried being separated from them for the car ride (for their safety -- she was crated and the puppies were placed in a small box with blanket and heating disc).
All in all though, everyone did well and the tails look great. They have one stitch at the end that will fall out/dissolve and they are starting to look like little mini Vizslas (instead of rats!).
In other news they have all gained 2 oz. per day since birth which is right on track to double their weights at 1 week old.
