Inu's second vaccination

We took inu to a veterinary clinic on Saturday for her second vaccination and some consultations. The overall process was smooth. This was the first time inu sat in our car and she kept humming all the way to the clinic. We originally thought inu would feel timid at a new clinic place but she adapted to the new environment fast and started sniffing and chewing things very soon.

Inu weighted about 4.4 Kg on the scale before the doctor injected the vaccine through her back skin. Inu screamed a bit but the whole process lasted only a few seconds. Inu sure was brave. The doctor fed inu one half of the deworm pill also. It should last inu until the next vaccination time.

We decided to get inu a nail clipper as she jumped on us quite frequently and her nails were scratching our legs. Clipping nails for inu was quite an experience. Luckily we got necessary clipping nail knowledge from the doctor not to clip the red vessel in the nail. Clipping nail for the first time was essential for inu to decide if she would let us clip her nails again in the future. It took four hands and a muzzle to hold inu still so that we could clip and polish her nails. It was not easy as inu constantly struggled trying to run away.

Inu looked tired and slept more during the day after the vaccination. Doctor told us that this was normal and even if inu would develop fever, let it cure by itself. On the bright site, it freed us some personal time and we were able to take some great photos of inu.





Inu has been doing extremely well for not doing poo poo in the house for more than 1 week now. She would walk to back yard to poo all this while when she felt it. I have trusted inu on her ability to handle this. On the other hand, however, inu seemed to do worse to pee on her designated cage. There was a time inu peed in the house three times a night. Sometimes, once or twice. But sometimes, she would walk to her cage to pee. I think inu was confused where to pee. I still need to give her more time.
