Alfie's 2nd Jab

Alfie’s 2nd Jab

Just a quick one! Alfie went to the vets the other day and I just wanted to write a post on Alfie’s experience. So the vet was lovely, so friendly she explained everything she was going to do. I also asked for Alfie to be Micro Chipped. She said let’s see how he is with the injection and if he is ok we can do the Micro chipping. The vet gave Alfie some treats and he was brilliant, nothing not even a whimper then a few seconds later he started to cry. The vet explained it could start to sting, but I rubbed the area and he soon settled. It broke my heart.  As he was so good she said it was ok to do the chipping. She asked me to hold his head, oh me oh my, what a sound but I know that it is worth it because if anything should happen to him I would be devastated. The vet gave me a spot on for fleas and a little puppy pack which is really good, with treats and lots of information. Alfie was also weighed when we collected him he was 4.3kg and now he is 5.4kg my little chunky monkey, he loves his food.


Well we have to go back to the vets in to weeks to visit the nurse so that Alfie doesn't associate the vets with pain. He will get weighed again. He is growing so quickly.

The day after Alfie has had lose poohs. I rang the vets and they explained that the injection can cause loose stools and if it persists then take him back to the vets. After a couple of day he was back to his normal self again.

Thank you for reading my blog, please leave a comment as I love to read them.

  1. I'm so pleased we found your blog! This is really great to be able to read your experiences ahead of getting a puppy. I think Alfie deserves a new toy for being a big brave puppy at the nasty vets!!! :)

    1. Thank you for commenting, I am so glad you like it. I started my blog as when i was looking for information about puppies i couldn't find anything that actually told me what it is like to have one, they just told me how it should be. My blog is going to be all about the good and the bad, a real life story in away. He was so brave and had lots of attention after. :)
