Trooper and Peppers Blog

So Troopster went to the vet yesterday for a clinical trial check up thingy..

and Doc says he is a healthy boy! except for the next round of antibiotics and neboulizer for his lungs, and his some what stunted growth. He is going grow old like his sister! He gets tested once more at the micro-plasm level for distemper and he is done!

Every few months he will get rounds of anti-biotics and the nebulizor thingy. But hes going to live.. YAY :)

So when I took Pepper and Trooper to the beach with my family, a family friend asked if they were part whippets…

Two days later mom and I google Lab and whippet mixes… low and behold no expensive DNA test needed. The babies are soo lab whippet mixes…

So Sorry I havent been on lately to post new updates on Pepper and Trooper. We recently put Sadie down, and its been rough. 

So heres a mini update. Pepper is healthy and getting big. She’s now 24lbs and growing. Crazy she is. Always gotta know what the other dogs are doing. She has also been a huge help in protecting Trooper and she makes sure he doesn’t over exert himself. 

Trooper has gone through is first round of Distemper shots and it worked! His distemper has stopped progressing all together, and he is now on his second round of vials, and they hope to get it out of the micro plasm.. (still trying to figure out what that all means).

Hes not as big as Pepper, but he is eating a lot more and 3x a day. So hes getting healthier! We nebulize him every night, (he gets doggie ice cream as his reward). So that clears out all the crap thats built up in his lungs.

He still has damaged lungs, but he’s not coughing very little if not at all. He’s almost back to his old self. Just not as playful. 

Have pictures and videos soon!
