Last set of Vaccines

Thankfully the last set of vaccine boosters were given yesterday. They are stressful, especially for Bruno who is sensitive by nature and needs to have antihistamine to counteract the negative effects. Still it is short lived, usually 24 hours and he will be his normal self. This is much better than the actual diseases they could  get without the vaccines. The next big vet visit will be for neutering. Because they are such beautiful animals with such sweet natures I found making the decision to neuter them surprisingly difficult. The benefits will make it the best decision in the long run especially for  Bruno who was born with an umbilical hernia---a genetic trait which should not be passed on. At 6 days shy of 5 months Bruno now weighs 41lbs and Maxi a close 39.5 lbs. They should have their surgery somewhere between 6 and 8 months--------not looking forward to that day :(
