Hi everyone, I talked to my vet yesterday afternoon because Teddy's heartworm and flea medication is due today and tomorrow (I give one each day) and I wanted to make sure if it was okay to give him the medicine while he's taking the eye medication. He asked me about Teddy and his eye, and I told him that I noticed that his eye was doing a lot better, especially in comparison to how it was yesterday morning and even more so Monday. I told him that I was planning on seeing an opthamalogist tomorrow (today) and he told me to give it a couple of more days. He asked me to come in on Friday (he's not going to charge me) to just look at Teddy's eye one more time and that if I was still unsure about his eye was doing that he will schedule an appt for me with the opthamologist on Tuesday since Monday is the 4th of July. He told me that he just wanted to make sure that the medicine is given completely before I go to an optho to at least make sure that it is/or if it isn't working. He also wanted to make sure that I don't run to the optho unnecessarily--he really thinks Teddy is not in any danger by delaying.
I feel more confident this morning about several things. First of all, Teddy's eye is doing great Thank God. It is still not back to it's original color but the inflammation is definitely down...it's still a pale pinkish color around his eye...but it's not that throbbing red color anymore. Second, I was a little uneasy about this vet in the beginning--but the fact that he's not charging me another visit (he didn't charge me the visit on Monday morning) shows me that he cares about how Teddy is doing.
As always, I will keep you guys updated. Thank you so much for caring. |
