Light and Night first visit at the vet clinic
Yesterday I stated in my last article about our puppies namely Light and Night going to have their very first visit at the clinic. Just like a newborn babies, puppies needs check up and immunization too in order to keep them safe and prevent the unnecessary infection they might get in the future.
So yesterday, after I have posted my article, my brother in law came to fetch us. It was around 330 in the afternoon. Our first stop is the animal clinic where the puppies will have their first check up. My original plan is to have them listed first if in case there were a lot of people waiting to have their pet checked to and then go to the grooming clinic where Lucy and Marley will have their haircut, then proceed back to the animal clinic. Luckily, when we arrived at the clinic location, the waiting area is clear so I approached the guard and I listed my name on his record book. Since it was Light and Night first visit, I filled up a piece of paper indicating some of the information about the pet I have for the clinic's future references.
The assistants took Light and Night from me and checked their weight. We aren't allowed to go inside the clinic because of healthy measures the clinic is still implementing. As I am waiting for the veterinarian, I am happy that the assistants were going crazy over Light and Night because who can't resist their cuteness. Both of them behave well too.
Just a few minutes later, the doctor came and ask a few questions about the puppies. He told me that they will received a 5 in 1 vaccine and deworming as well. He performed the inoculation after that. He told me the probable side effects of the vaccine and assured me that it is normal for the puppies to be inactive since they just got their first vaccine.
He finally give me the pet's health record, this is a booklet where all the immunization is recorded and noted that we need to be back after two weeks for another set of vaccine and deworming. He wrote a prescription too for the puppies vitamins. After that, one of the assistants prepared the bill. The total bill charged was 1400 php including the vitamins. So I guess, I need to prepare the same amount, more or less after two weeks.
I took the puppies out after paying the bill and off we go to the next destination, the grooming clinic. Unfortunately when we arrived there, the service for grooming was already cut off. I told my brother in law to go to another grooming clinic where our Yumi had her last haircut but then when we arrived there it was the same case. They advised us to go on Monday since they aren't open on Sunday. We should be really early next time, but since no one can accompany us there in the next days, I guess Lucy and Marley will get their haircuts after two weeks.
We headed back home but before that we dropped by at Mcdonalds drive thru to buy some food for our snacks. But we ended up cancelling our order since large fries isn't available, like how come? My glutonny over Mcdo fries is showing, so since they don't have it, I decided that we should just got home and order it from the food application instead.
When we got home, I ordered our snacks right away and then a few minutes later our food came. The boys were out that time so I waited for them before I can finally dig in.
Final thoughts
To be honest, taking puppies to the doctor is quite expensive. But to ensure their safety against infection and future diseases I have to do it. I was like having another baby that needed to complete their immunization in order for them to go out freely without having fear of getting sick. Though getting sick is unavoidable but with protection from vaccines it won't get worst. Puppies are vulnerable too and at their very young age they can caught a lot of bacteria while exploring, but with the help of immunization they can overcome it and grow healthier and happier.
