When dex gets sick i break out a notebook and start logging times of vomitting, etc I just think it helps as when you get into office you forget it seems so having those notes and vet and derm having ahead of time sometimes helps speed up analysis
also write down all your questions ahead of time as well so everything gets answered
our derm is really busy so i fax over questions tech goes over with her and tech calls me back immediately with answers. |
The biggest problems is, is that we have only had Miracle since the end of June. I don't know what problems she may have had prior to that.
If I remember correctly the 3 hours would include the skin testing for allergies.
Yes, I am treating her visit just as I treat my own. I will have my list of questions. I am also going to log all of her information since I have had her.
I don't mind having to be there for 3 hours, I would stay there all day if it meant they could find out what is bothering Miracle.
Dr. Bloom is 1 of only 5 double boarded veterinary dermatologists in the US and graduated from MSU, so I believe we will get to the bottom of what is going on with her.
