Nikki's Trip to Doctor Duple

She knew where she was going when we turned into driveway. And after getting out of the car, she planned on taking me for a walk back out of the driveway. I needed to convince her to go into the door. She needed to walk onto the scale. 37.5 pounds, she gained 2 pounds from her last visit.

Nikki had blood drawn. It was obvious that it hurt her when she tried to pull away, but it was quick and she did well. All the tests came back good. There is a cyst on her hind leg, but there was hardly any fluid to anylize. So Dr. Duple said not to worry but she'll keep an eye on it.

Nikki does have dry skin, so she now will be using special shampoo to help ease the itching. Nikki also has yeast infection in both ears. The Dr. showed me how to use the medicine to wash out Nikki's ears. All said and done she is in great health, and still a very happy baby. She will need to have her teeth clean by December.
