Indiana Jones had a vet visit today! He now weighs a whopping 74.9 lbs!

We had three reasons to visit the vet today.

First, was the quasimodo style bump on Indy's right cheek (see picture above). The bump was acquired during a wresting match with Clark. The vet said the he probably bruised the bone and the swelling will go down over time... (it's been almost 2 weeks already). We are supposed to put a warm compress on it. We'll see how well that goes over.

Second, was a rash on the inside of Indy's legs that he seems to get when it's damp out. And although it never seems to bother HIM, it looks red, raw and very uncomfortable... Our Vet seems to think it's an allergy (Indy must get that from Chris). We were told to try Caladryl lotion. He said to apply it and then distract Indy for about 5 minutes until it soaks in. Again, we'll see how that goes over.

Third, Indy was due for his rabies shot. He took it like a champ! As always with Indy, we will keep an eye on him for the next couple of days to make sure he doesn't have a reaction. And he did pass his heart worm test with flying colors!

Clark's appointment is Monday!
