We're home...minus $161, but with added peace of mind.

We got to the vet clinic about 8:40 and was then told that the vet was in surgery and then had another appointment before they could see us (even though we came in like we were told). The vet tech asked us to come back at 10:15-10:30. I have never felt 100% crazy over this clinic, but have continued to go there because he is repro. specialist.

I have always wondered if he didn't rush into Livi's first c-section and there are just other things that bother me and my husband. Soooo, we got back into our car to drive a little before coming back at 10:15. I told my husband my feelings and how I did not feel comfortable with that clinic and that I wanted to take her to vet that has been treating Izzy's luxating patella...that place is WONDERFUL!!! By the way, the repro vet recommended that we do the surgery on Izzy's knees when she was 7 months old....the second one, told us to wait and to start Cosequin and to see if things change (which she is doing FABULOUS on!!!). Long story short, we drove straight to the second clinic to see if they had an opening and they did indeed let us bring her in.

She had an exam and also an ultrasound and they all were SUPER sweet to Livi and she never one time shook and got scared like she has always done with the repro clinic...infact, she was wagging her tail at them.

The vet said that she for sure saw/heard 3 heartbeats...if there are more, she said she could not tell, but deinfitely 3. She was grinning huge when she told how excellent they look and everything seems to be going great. She feels that Livi ovulated late and that we are still looking at a couple more days. She said the puppies don't seem to have dropped, not really and that Livi's milk has not come in...which indicated, to her, that she still had a couple more days to go. If she has not had them by Monday, she wants us to bring her back. So, yes, we spent more to find this all out (this vet is more expensive than the repro vet) but we feel better just knowing and hearing from a vet that we trust that things look excellent at this point.
