update on Dax's mange and everything else So I went to the vet on Saturday for Dax's checkup for his mange as well as a chest x-ray. A couple of weeks ago, Dax went in for his teeth check. If you read at the front of this thread, you will know that the previous vet that I took Dax to, supposenly cleaned his teeth. I just had his teeth cleaned in February by the previous vet, however, I started taking Dax to this new vet (whom I like very much). Well, the new vet had to end up pulling 8 teeth because the previous vet thought they looked okay enough not to be pulled. Also, the new vet became suspicious of "something" so he ordered a chest x-ray on my next visit. Well, the x-ray indiciated a collasped trachea, pulmonary hypertension, and a dislocated disk as well as the mange he is dealing with. I just want to go to my previous vet and ask him what he had been doing for 4 years whenever I took my dog in for checkups, cleanings, and x-rays. Granted I have taken Dax to at least 6 other vets for help in aleviating his itching, but no one but this new vet has ever taken a compassionate attitude in helping Dax get better. If anyone lives in the Shawnee, Ok area and is looking for a great vet, pm me. I am also mad at my own studipity and reliance on a vet, whom I thought was taking care of my baby. I relied on my previous vet's knowledge too much to care for my yorkie, boy was I fooled in thinking he knew how to properly care for a yorkie, much less anything. However, the main thing is: It has taken Dax
4 1/2 years to enjoy life finally. No more itching like crazy and smelling like rotten eggs. He now is running and jumping and smells like roses. You can tell that he is finally happy!!! |
