Loving my beautiful baby girl
Serenity returned to her Vet for her booster vaccinations this evening. She did very well, although she gets nervous and literally trembles in my arms the moment we walk in. I really wish I could help her understand and reassure her everything is ok.


I still really like this Dr. and the clinic! He spent so much time with us, and even spent a great deal of time again just talking to me about Sierra even having not met her yet! (how to get on Stephanie's good side, talk to her with great concern and interest about her babies!
)
He's going to compound Sierra's Norvasc for us in a salmon flavored liquid! She will definitely enjoy the medication more and the dosage will be more precise than having to quarter the pill!
Suppose I'll need to save that for another thread, though!

Serenity is still 4 pounds, so her weight has stabilized for now. He said she could start losing her baby teeth at any time. Won't she be so cute snaggletoothed!
I had thought she may have lost some much earlier because she didn't have some of her top and bottom front teeth, but he said she still has all her baby teeth now, that what I most likely observed was her teeth first coming in. He said they may have come in late due to her malnourished state early in life. She's certainly well nourished now, though!

Her Dr. suggested we give her only the distemper vaccine today and wait a week or so for her rabies since her vaccines make her feel so poorly. I feel that was a great idea.
She did great for her exam and vaccine, just sat there like such a brave girl!

Sierra was in the bedroom when we arrived home and we had to go in there to find her instead of her coming out to greet us as usual. She must have felt really odd with us both gone! Sierra sniffed her over then went on about her business. Serenity ate a nice meal and has now found herself a little snuggly spot to sleep, having barely glanced up since. Sure hope she bounces right back from today.


Thank you, everyone for caring enough to keep up with my babies!

Stephanie,

Thank you for sharing Sierra and Serenity story and pictures. I especially liked the ones of them taking a turn in the paper bag. =)

Awww Serenity what a brave little girl. It sounds like you've found a great Vet clinic now. Sending lots of healing thoughts her way so that she bounces back quickly from her vaccination.
I bet Sierra will be making the most of little sister's quiet time

Thank you, DMG, for enjoying little Serenity's life story and her precious pictures!


Beth, Susan, and Susie, you show your love for my girls in so many different ways, and it's so special to me for you to take the time to support us in her thread.


I'm so happy to report that Serenity is feeling much better already!
She is a bit more calm, still active and playing just not as vigorously as usual. She's mostly enjoying being a snuggle bug today, but she's not acting sore and is continuing to eat well!
Sierra may be slightly disappointed, though, as she was hoping her little sister would be much more sedate today!

Giving her vaccines one at a time is definitely a wonderful plan which we will continue in the future! Her Vet's office phoned a few minutes ago to check on her! Isn't that great personalized service from a Dr's' office!

Serenity is such a brave little girl. I think that Sierra missed you both when your were gone.

Your love for your girls shines through every message that you write.

Stephanie- Remember all the problems I told you Dori had with her shots when she was a kitten? She got hers 1 at a time as well and did MUCH better. I am sure Serenity will be 100% tomorrow. I bet she is a bit sleepy from all the excitement of going to the vet and is just trying to hide it from Sierra


Her vet sounds wonderful! That really does make all the difference.


Could you post just a few more pics of them please

Rita, thank you so much for your support!


Yes, Susan, their calling to check on Serenity is such personal, caring service, isn't it! We're glad you're impressed with our Vet, as well!


Lei, you're always so kind, you know how much I love my girls!


You're so right, Tanya, this has made such a world of difference for Serenity!
Give Mommy a second to fiddle with Photobucket, and we'll see what we can do about those pictures! Thank you so much for asking!

Serenity will be getting her very own Fur Pics thread in the next few days.
In the meantime, here are a couple of pictures to update how quickly my tiny baby is growing up!


This is such a fun action shot of her playing with her big sister's honeysuckle pillow!



Posing like such a big girl!



My baby girls having dinner side by side! This is quite a rare occurance!

Oh my gosh, Serenity is getting sooo big!
What a gorgeous girl; and miss Sierra, stunning as always! I'm glad Serenity's vet visit went well and she's recovered from her needle.
