Thanks, Everyone!!! I do love this forum! I opted to have the Rabie (State Law), Fecal exam and the blood test for heartworms. After that I opted for the Titer for the others. I will know soon about the titer and will go from there but his fecal and blood test came back negative..YAY!! And the vet says that he is perfect.
I am very happy. I appreciate everyone jumping to offer the advice. I was really stressing about it and just didn't take the opportunity to ask for opinions in time. However, because I felt so uncomfortable with just shooting him up....I went with the titer. It was nice to come back and find that those that I respect the most in the forum agreed with my decision.
Northern, Thanks A LOT now that damn song is stuck in my head.
Ruth, I don't know if I ever told you but I did end up ordering a muzzle through Dean and Tyler and I am THRILLED with it and Ruger doesn't mind it a bit! I have put it on him several times prior to the appointment and have taught him that when I put it on, he must sit still......Vet appointment went much better and the dumb ass that had Ruger riled up the last go was told by the vet to stay completely in the back until we left. Ruger still wasn't thrilled but it wasn't stressful this go at it.
