Visiting the Vet!

So far Lola has been to the vet three times. The first time she went had two purposes. The first purpose was to go just for a check-up soon after I got her, and the second was becasue the night before she gave me quite a scare.
It was the first time I had gone out and left her alone. I went to the store for 30 minutes and came straight back. When I got back I was sooooo happy to see her I picked her up and gave her a million kisses and hugged her and was really excited with her. She was excited too! I realized that while I had been gone she had gone to the bathroom (Number 2), but that she had eaten some of it. Gross! I put her down and she started playing with my slippers, and threw up all over them. I cleaned up the mess and comforted her because she had startled herself. I probably stupidly gave her supper soon after this but she wanted no part of it. I tried to make her eat by giving her a piece at a time. She was sick alot after this and she started to do this backwards sneezing thing that sounds like they can't breathe and are trying to catch their breath with everything they have. At the time I was scared out of mind. I called practically everyone I knew and balled, and asked what to do. They all said she was probably fine, but if I needed them to come over they would and go to the vet with me. I called a couple of 24 hour vets and they said to keep an eye on her and if it continued, to bring her in right away for only $135 JUST to see her. I said, ya I'll get right on that. I sucked it up and took her temperature. Something I said I would NEVER do, but good mommies have to be strong. She didn't have a fever and was able to breathe normally again after 5-10 minutes or so. This is when I called the vet and made the appointment for an early check-up (instead of my later booked one in a couple of weeks). The next day we went in and the vet checked her over and said she couldn't have been healthier, and probably from eating her own POO and all of the excitement, plus probably some stress with me leaving her all alone for the very first time, she had a night like a night after the bar.

The next vet visit was for a needle. The staff at the vet I go to is wonderful. They think she is so cute and play with her alot. We had a different vet this time and she was just as great as the first. She made me feel like a very good puppy parent. She too couldn't get over how good and healthy Lola was (is). She was even super at the needle. I had some treats from the vet in my hand that she nibbled at and at the same time she gave her the shot. Not a peep, but a VERY sleepy puppy for the rest of the day.

Our most recent visit was today. Again for more shots. Lola got to go on the big scale this time, and she said hello to everyone in the waiting room and even the other dogs when we got there. She played with the staff until our turn was up. We had the same vet, and no concerns or problems were seen. She had two needles this time and drops in her nose. I showed of her new trick of high-five and we chatted about her for a while. I love going to the vet! Thank goodness so does Lola! Just like last time she's been pretty dead to the world today as well.
Sooooooo tired.
