Gambol's vet visit

Gambol's second visit to the vet was much more pleasant than his first, a year ago.  He behaved like a well mannered dog should, curious and not afraid.  He let the vet tech hold him for the 3 booster shots (rabies, bordatella, and DHPP--Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus) and blood draw for heartworm and other tests.  He has been exposed to Lyme so he's taking antibiotic, Doxycycline 100) for a month and he has lung worms so he'll take a drug for that too.  We have a prescription for his regular quarterly worming, Virbantel, (round, hook,whip worms) too.  It appears that hunting on the Barony is a dangerous business.
