Hello!
Well I took Diamond to the vet yesterday and she has "Giardia"
It is a parasite and causes diarrhea.. It attacks the digestive system and is contagious to other dogs and humans... She is on medication now for 10 days..The vet said she was very underweight.
She weighed 30.3 pounds. This is a 5mo old shepherd( A LARGE Shepherd) she should weigh around 45 to 50... She also got her booster which is Parvo,Parafluenza, bordetalla, lepto,distemper..
The vet rated her from 1 to 5... 5 being the best.... A 2.5...
Her teeth on each side canine and baby teeth were split but he said to wait and see how they fall out since she will get her canine in at 6mos. The tips are yellow and looked a lil decay...
He wants to see her in 3 weeks to, check her weight, boosters, check teeth...
He also said she so far seems to be very sweet. Just wants to be loved and thanked me for keeoing her. He too grew up with german Shepherds and also had a soft spot in his heart for her and the breed... So our little Diamond from the rough is in good hands..NOW....
God Bless and I'll keep the updates coming a some pics...
