Hi everyone, I just got home about 10 mintues ago. The doctor put dye in Pia's eye and it seems she has either a calcium or cholesterol deposit. Since there is
no ulcer (which sometimes happens) she did not need medication. It should go away on its own in time. She told me to watch it closely and if it changes at all then I will have to take her to a specialist.
She also did a complete check-up on her and everything turned up great, except her teeth.
However, this was not a shock to me at all. She really wants to get them cleaned as soon as possible. I'm a nervous wreck about this and explained Pia's history and how we almost lost her before when she was put under. She was so nice about it but still feels Pia really needs a dental. Pia's one tooth is actually starting to rot.
I've tried so hard to help her teeth but I know this has to be done. I think I've always known but didn't want to face it.
She wants me to get all of Pia's records (other vet) from when she was put under before so she knows exactly what was used on her. Then she's going to do a full blood panel of tests and then Pia will finally get those nasty teeth cleaned. The doctor was so nice and she understood why I put it off for so long. She said on the day she cleans them I can come in and wait there the entire time.
I'll take Pia there in the morning and they'll get her prepped but instead of her waiting in a cage until she gets her teeth cleaned, the vet said I could wait in her office with Pia.
I thought this was so sweet of her to offer. She really was so nice and I actually do feel comfortable with letting her take care of my baby. She truly understood Pia's needs and that meant the world to me.
I guess that's pretty much it. She's very healthy and has no luxating patella issues, heart murmor , collapsed trachea or anything else. Oh and she even gained 5 ounces.
Thank you all for the prayers!! I kow they really worked.
When its time for the teeth cleaning I'll be back asking for more.
Big hugs,
Dina & PP
