So Howard went in for his second set of puppy shots yesterday. He's about 9 1/2 weeks old. He knows weights 14 pounds up from 8 pounds 3 weeks ago!! He does have a bit of a UTI and he's getting antibiotics for it. The vet said there is no blood, but bacteria and a lot of sediment. Said it was pretty common for puppies. I was wondering if there is a supplement to give to help his urinary tract and prevent UTIs in the future?
Also he does have tear staining. No infection or anything, but she said it was just due to the pigment in his tears. It's not terribly noticeable because it's where the black coloring around his eyes meet the white fur, but I can definitely tell. I try to wipe them out daily with either eye wipes or paper towels to dry them. I was wondering if he is too young to try angel eyes? I can't really find an age recommendation online. Do you all think its safe? Oh he is on blue buffalo puppy lamb and oatmeal so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. He is doing well on the food although he still poops a ton and its not always as firm as I'd like (although much better than royal canin bulldog puppy). He's gained weight and his coat is soft. He also is getting the brownish stains around his mouth. I know all this is cosmetic but I hope to get it under control before it gets too bad or causes any skin problems.
Thanks so much!!
