We took Buddy to see a vet on Saturday.  Buddy weighed 27 lbs and everything checked out fine.  The vet stressed the importance of not exposing Buddy to the public until his shots kick in which will be 4 weeks in all. She gave us a schedule for vaccines to follow. Also since Buddy was neutered just right before he was opened for adoption, the vet advised that Buddy should be in a cone for at least 7 days.  Buddy did well for the entire exam.  He did not like the cone but he did deal with it as best as he could
