Hugo had a rough day, neutered, microchipped, extra toe removed removed, and two baby teeth pulled. His pre-op labs came back okay except for elevated liver enzymes. He goes back in 4 weeks for a re test and hopefully I get some answers then. For now, they don’t know what caused it. I’m worried. Has anyone else been thr this? He’s young so I am thinking that limits the potential causes, but not in a good way.
Hugo is 5.5 months, 12.5” tall. Not sure what he weighs, but he’s losing his baby canines and not eating much kibble lately. I’m giving him eggs, cottage cheese, and chicken so he doesn’t go hungry. His big boy coat is coming in nicely.
His personality is really starting to show, and he’s becoming a really lovely little fellow. He’s listening better, the biting is more puppy nibbles than shark attack, and he can be trusted to sleep in my bed at night. (I’d know if he was getting up to no good because he’d have my shoes all over the house - we’re still working on that!)
Pitty training is still a work in progress. Sometimes he tells me he needs to go out - he has a button that says Potty potty when pressed that he’s using - usually I take him out before he asks. He usually pees outside, occasional accidents. He still poops in his crate, sometimes on the floor, then he brings it to me. 😂 Today, he pooped, pressed the Potty button, then showed me where the poop was. I guess that’s progress. put the poop in the yard and gave him praise and a treat. Like I said, we’re working on it.
I can’t believe the difference between him at 2-4 months vs now. He’s a whole different dog, from such a naughty little pup to such a sweet good boy. I struggled a lot those first 2 months, and now that I can see what a wonderful companion he’s turning into, it was all worthwhile. I love him so much!

I would love to know how Lazare was cared for, how he lives, what he’s fed. So I could extend my Papillon’s life so dramatically.
He just gets prettier and fluffier every day! 3 weeks ago his hair was all like 1/2” long lol. Am I weird, or is it normal to get excited about tail fringe and scruff fluff?
