Today 2 of his puppy teeth fell down so I expect old of them to get changed soon.

4 months old

February 23rd, 2010

Rocco is now 4 months old. He has all vaccines but rabies and can freely go outside. I am now in the process of teaching him to do his “things” outside and I have some progress in that.
And his diarrhoea is gone.

Happy Birthday Rocco.

diarrhoea 3

February 20th, 2010

Rocco got 3 injections, 2 pills and one powder for water.
I will give him one of the pills (DiaDog ‘n Cat) now and he will stay hungry till tomorrow morning, when he will get his second pill. After that I will have to boil him some rise and feed him only that.
The powder (Royal Canin Rehydration Support) will go to his water bowl.
