Don't got a usual vet. The ones down here are more paperwork crazy then
the DMV. I sneeze, they make me get a new one.

What paperwork do you have now? Can you identify whether the existing
paperwork applies to Eddie or Louie?
I would suggest separating out what you have. One pile for Eddie, one
pile for Louie, one pile for "don't know". Sort each pile by date. Go
throgh the "don't know" pile, and try to assign each page to one of
the boys.
If you can't assign a page, set it aside and just don't show it to
the vet.
Does your vet not have copies of these records? If the vet is new,
ask the old vet to transfer existing records to the new vet. I believe
they have to.
Good luck,
Mark

I don't understand this at all. There is no reason whatsoever why you
cannot present at a new vet and ask for your dogs to have a check up. Or why
you can't go back to your last vet?

So what do mean about the vet paperwork being out of order?
No vet here in the UK would refuse to treat an animal "because the paperwork
was out of order." Just take your dogs along to a vet if you think they
need it and when you are there, show the admin staff the paperwork you have,
they could perhaps sort it out for you.
I have always found them very helpful.
