Rocco Rottweiler

Today I went to the municipality’s office and registered Rocco. I also paid tax for owning a dog. The tax is 6 euro (about 9 USD) per year. (more…)

At last the time for Rocco’s third vaccine came. It is DHPPi +L both from the Nobivac series by Intervet. For Rabies we will have to wait another month and on 16th of March we will be visiting the doctor again. (more…)

Today is Rocco’s birthday. He is now 3 months old.

Rocco is now 2 months and 10 days. His weight is about 22 pounds. Now I feed him with 280 grams of food and increase it daily. In the next few days it will get to 300+ grams. (more…)

Today Rocco got his second vaccine. Nobivac DHP + Nobivac Lepto. Surprisingly to me the vet said that the next one should be on the fourth month instead on the third. Tomorrow I will ask why because all the online information states that it should be on the third.
Go figure!

Yesterday Rocco was playing in the corridor when I heard a terrible noise and alot of dog crying. Unfortunately he managed to get a computer on his front right leg. (more…)

Me and Rocco went to the vet today. He advised me to give him calcium tablets for better growth. So for the next ten days I will be giving him one tablet per day. The vet also advised him to start giving food 5 times a day instead of 4 as it was till now. (more…)

As Rocco will get his second vaccine next week I gave him a pill of Drontal Plus Flavour. It is a medicine against all intestinal worms found in dogs. He liked it and thought it is just food.

In the beginning when I got Rocco I estimated his weight to be about 20 pounds, so I was feeding him with about 11 ounces of food. I recently managed to check his weight and it is about 15 pounds. No wonder why he didn’t want to eat all the food he was getting. I thought he is sick, but he was just overfed. (more…)
