12 Weeks Old today

The princess is doing great.  At 12 weeks old she weighs 16 pounds. She loves to play with her new house mate Bear who is 6 months older then her.

Brother Bear says "don't take my toy."

We have been monitoring her closely since her momma Shelby was infected with several diseases.  All the puppies in her littler have been on doxycycline since they were 7 weeks old.  Since having her cbc/ chem done at 11 weeks old, as well as a tick panel and urinalysis, Princess Leah has also started amoxicillin since she tested positive for rocky mountain spotted fever.  Her white blood count is also elevated and her liver and kidneys show signs of distress.  She is eating well and gaining weight so that is a positive.  From just looking at her you would never know she is sick.  She's a playful happy pup and we are going to work hard at to keep her that way.

 Here she is today on her 12 week birthday

Feel the love

Don't hate her cause she's beautiful.
