Dozer seems to be doing much better. He has stabilized, and is acting like his goofy old self. That University of ours, here in Vermont, was QUITE rude to me, and basically told me that they did NOT have time to deal with some sick dog-- that is what the VET CLINIC and PHONEBOOK is for. That is actually the answer I received.
I am irate, to say the least. So, in the meantime, while things are settled, I am doing my research NOW, and making a saftey plan for future emergencies. It is so difficult to be in such an isolated area, and frankly, our area is SO old fashoned, we are years behind in everything from technology, to ideas, to fashion, to culture. Its disturbing.
At least my new vet has been nothing short from wonderful- she is watching Dozer like a hawk- I have never had so many personalized phonecalls from a Doc before. She is thinking that Addisons Disease is a possibility, and together we are going to take a stab at some neuro and adrenial specialists around and set up an appointment for the little boy in the next week or two.
I cannot thank you all enough for your kindness, prayers and support. I have been a wreck for the past week and it was a blessing to find such a wonderful community!
Thank you all! |
What a horrible way to treat someone in your community. That university is terrible. What is the name of it?
I am tickled pink that you found a vet that is as concerned as you are, though. That is worth its weight in gold! I was just talking to someone last night at how it is so hard to find a vet you can connect with. I'm still looking. Sounds like you found yours. Glad to hear that you are going to get him in with some specialists for testing.
Will keep checking for future updates. Happy that he is acting his usual self right now. Praying for a diagnosis soon so he can get the treatment he needs.
