How did Fergus’s first trip to the vet go?

I got lost in the day yesterday and forgot to update everyone in how Fergus's appointment went. This will be super quick because there's not much to tell. Basically, he's about 6 months old and not really underweight but needs to eat more. We're bumping him up to at least 2 cups of puppy chow for the next few months. Then we switch to adult food. He's clear of heartworms and got all his needed shots. The only problem is that he has a UTI. It's not like super bad but it's bad enough. We had no idea but he's now on antibiotics to clear that up.

It was one of those things that just kinda happened in the moment and wasn't really thought out. The kids are thrilled and Ruby seems to be happy as well, so it all worked out. He's a 4 month old Corgipoo and his name was Toby. We're weird about names in our house and if we are going to do this, we're going to do it our way.
