May 3, 2015 Saturday was a beautiful day to go the the vet's office!

Saturday was a beautiful day to take the Poms to our local veterinarian and have them checked out.  We loaded them up in the Subaru and headed to Town and Country Veterinary Hospital in Spencer.  The dogs were very happy to be going for a ride.  When we arrived at the veterinary hospital, they entered the building without any hesitation.  Diamond even growled and barked at two pit bull puppies like she owned the place. Thankfully, we were soon called into Dr. Farrar's office.

Denise (Dr. Farrar) thought that it would be a good idea to have blood drawn and sent to the lab to check for Lyme disease.  This was due to the fact that both dogs were covered in ticks when we picked them up.  We also felt that it would be good to test for heartworm because we didn't know if the dogs had received the preventative medication.

Carmella was first up on the table. Victoria held tightly while Denise inserted the needle into her vein.  Carmella bled a little after the blood draw, so Dr. Farrar wrapped a pink bandage around her leg. After getting her heart checked and all of her shots, Carmella happily gave up her spot on the table to Diamond.

Diamond took her turn like a trooper and the same routine was followed.  We left the office and headed back to the farm.  Hopefully everything will check out and the dogs will be free of Lyme disease and heartworms!  For now, they are happy to be home!

We want to thank Dr. Farrar and everyone who donated to help us with the care of these two loving dogs.
