Today was Lilly's first vet visit. She weighed in at 18 lbs and was a champ getting her last puppy shot...it didn't even phase her! We did get some bad news though...Lilly has a heart murmur. It's a 2-3 on a scale of 1-5. Dr. Brichler said this will most likely not go away and she should be fine until she's around 5 of so. At that time, if she has trouble at all, there is medicine we can give her. He said that, like with humans, we should watch her weight. He also recommended we not give her people food at all. Up to now she has not had anything except for dog food or dog treats so we're good there. I'm new to this stuff and asked if we needed to take any other precautions and he said no. The boys can run and play with her all they want and "tire her out". We'll just have to wait and see what happens. She's already a member of the family and we will be crushed if something happens to her that keeps her from having a full life. Right now we'll move forward as we have been and try not to think about it.
