The Recruit(s): Puppies’ First Visit to the Vet
#CIAK9

bit.ly/2xehj9R

Our 4 #K9 recruits-Suni, Indigo, Freya & Nicole-had 1st vet exam since joining CIA @ODAHCenter.
Heide & Lulu, had exams at their local vets.

@ODAHCenter Before classes begin, all Agency dogs go to the vet for a full health exam and any necessary vaccinations.

@ODAHCenter is known for its work w law enforcement & military K9s, & even started a program to help support retired K9s: @PawsOfHonorK9s.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Suni, bounded into the clinic & leapt into the arms of the kneeling veterinarian to give kisses.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s After receiving some medication for allergies that cause her eyes to water & an ear cleaning, Suni is declared healthy & ready for class.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Indigo hid her head in her instructor’s arm until the exam was over. But leaving, she jumped on the counter looking for rubs & treats.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Indigo’s rewarded & encouraged to do it again
She’ll need to be comfortable getting onto all kinds of different surfaces in her line of work

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Playful & exuberant when she came in, Freya stood quietly during her exam, but her expression made sure everyone knew how she felt about it.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Nicole joyously made the rounds saying hi to the @ODAHCenter staff & stood politely for her exam. She was treated for slight allergies.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Dr. found 2 small bumps between her toes. They don’t seem to bother her, but Nicole needed more tests to see if cysts should be removed.

@ODAHCenter @PawsOfHonorK9s Pups received clean bills of health, although none were thrilled about having ears cleaned, nor the vaccinations.
