dharma’s big day out: to the vet

Jun 3, 2025

Perry took Dharma to her vet appointment yesterday, and while we’re still waiting on blood results, she got a relatively good report so far.

Dharma will be 10 in August and her health has always been marginal. As a puppy, Dr. Rennekamp consulted with doctors at Purdue regarding her hips. While not bad enough for surgery at that time, she could’ve been returned to the breeder. Like that was going to happen after we were already in love with her?

She was a good girl. ❤️

Dharma’s vaccines are current and we’re trying a new pill to help with mobility over the long haul. Perry said she did great in the car and while there — she was such a good girl! Too bad I can’t say the same about the other two hounds.
