boxagirl Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Oh no ;) Hope Scoota is on the mend soon. I am still thinking of doing Adelaide.

Mason_Gibbs Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 As I posted on FB - receptionists can either make or break a vet practice and I will not be returning to my usual practice ever again. I also feel that having to wait 24 hours for blood test results in this day and age is at least 12 hours too long - hmmmm.Well bloods have come back showing very little improvement and they now show some kidney involvement. Feeling let down by the usual practice I emailed Bean's specialist and received a reply within minutes arranging an appointment for scoota to see a specialist I have previous had one of my kids to, and who I think a lot of. We have an appointment on Monday. I have also received an email from his accupuncture vet who will write us a referral and will meet us on Monday for the appointment. There are some very special vets in this world - for which I am very lucky to have dealings with 3 of them - thanks guys you are all one in a million :D and to my former practice - I don't appreciate the treatment I received today from either the receptionist or the head vet, and like I said earlier I will not be going back. That is not good about the practice, i know how u feel, when mason was bad and i was not getting answers i was so frustrated abd felt like not enough was being done to help him. Ended up changing vets and i am now very happy, plus mason and Beans' specialist is the best ;) so smart and knowledgable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Poor Scoota ;) Hope you get the help you guys need and he is on the mend again, very soon. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ptolomy I am glad that things are starting to move forward now... no thanks to your other practice... had you been going there for long? I hope you can get some answers on Monday... *hug* Ari saw and took chase of a Fox yesterday - she got about 20 m away from us and realised that she wasn't quite as fast as she thought, turned around and waddled back to us. Still I was very happy she came back when we called her. She still likes running up and down the sand dunes, but she only goes about 2 m up before turning around to run down now!

CrazyCresties Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Poor Scoota I hope you make some progress with him now ;) We're going through a diagnostic phase with Indy our siamese at the moment (Allergic asthma and raised liver enzymes) and she has an ultrasound on monday as the next step. I have to say our vets have been so thorough and caring Awww look at Bondi all snuggled in her bed and :D at her face in the second pic, not the most flattering Ari saw and took chase of a Fox yesterday - she got about 20 m away from us and realised that she wasn't quite as fast as she thought, turned around and waddled back to us. Still I was very happy she came back when we called her. She still likes running up and down the sand dunes, but she only goes about 2 m up before turning around to run down now! Does she not realise she should be sitting down with her feet up and a nice cup of tea :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 We went exploring again today, after a lovely trip to see a friend in Collie last week We headed up to Mundaring with the dogs, hoping to walk around there, but quickly discovered that dogs are not really welcome after speaking to a lady in the visitors centre She was very helpful though and pointed us to areas we could walk with them. We ended up in Chidlow and had a very pleasant walk along the Heritage Track there - it was deserted so Daisy was able to go off-lead for most of it and the temperature was just perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sorry big boy we will get it sorted i promise Hugs, Emery. Hope everything works out okay. I had something similar happen with one of mine very recently - thought it was a lipoma, until it suddenly grew to the size of a 50c piece in 2 days. Off to the vets and it turned out to be sarcoma Two major surgeries later, and I have a healthy doggy back, but the surgery to remove all the margins was a shocker. The incision was the length of my hand-span! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
