Miss Lolakins

I wasn't really sure what to title this blog. So Miss Lolakins it will remain. Lola has been getting bigger - fast! She is still super cute, in case you were wondering. Bryan and I have been battling it out with the breeder that Bryan got Lola from. Our issues are these: that two days after Lola arrived we had to take her to the emergency vet with a whooping $540 bill because she was having a 'pee problem'. She was tried to pee about 5-7 times in less than 5 minutes... which of course is not normal. At the emergency vet they said that she most likely had a urinary tract infection but they couldn't check because she was too young to get a good urine sample from her. At the time she was 6 weeks old, now she is 8 weeks old. They prescribed Lola onto clarimax to help her. It seemed to work well, until about 7 days later when she all of a sudden started to pee huge amounts over and over, which of course is not normal either... so we took her to our vet who was kind enough to see her last minute (about 15 minutes after we called him even though the office was full, his name is Dr. Jaio at Westchster Animal Hospital and I highly recommend him... the man knows his shit!) He laid down all the possibilities it could be that were causing these urine issues. He prescribed her another medication and took a urine sample. The next day he called with the results. Lola had crystals and a lot of blood in her urine, which means she has to be on a special diet s/d food for 6 weeks to get the acidity correct again in the urine. So that is where we are at now. We have to wait for another urine test after her last pills are finished and then hopefully she will be all better! Send her good thoughts!!!

Now besides all that heavy stuff she is doing wonderful! She is eating everything (socks, underwear, bookshelves, books, you name it) and has a healthy appetite and lots of energy. Vader has now accepted her into the family and regularly body slams her since he is a bruiser. She sleeps with us at night, usually cuddled around one of our necks... soon I think she will be too big to do that! Her favorite toys as of yet are rawhide bones with a flavor streak in them. The flavor streak is very important!
She bites a lot, but not to be mean she just wants to play and that combined with teething = ouch. Without any more further ado, here are the latest snaps!
