Congratulations on the new doggie. Don't know what I would do without mine.
Yes! Whatever you do, get some good insurance! I just had a lot of problems with my 16 year old Pinky. She had bumped into something causing one of her molars to get infected. I didn't recognize anything wrong for a while. I was giving her a treat and found she had a matt below her right eye. Tried to clean but it started bleeding. Took her to emergency. They found that she had a very serious infected tooth. Earlier, she had bumped into something in the hallway. Didn't appear to bother her except she wasn't eating as much as normal. This could have been what caused the problem.
Her regular dr. did the operations and $1400.00 later she was lifeless. He found a heart mummer. Said she may not pull through. She lay lifeless in my arms for 8 days being fed her medicine, food and water through a syringe. 9th and 10th day she showed traits of wanting to get down. She went to some water I had set out for her just in case, food also. Being very weak, she soon began eating and drinking but being partially deaf and mostly blind she is very picky with her food, drinks lots of water.
I have found that she hears high notes sometimes and sees probably shadows. I have to let her smell my hand before I can pick her up otherwise she will jump into anything close by possibly injuring herself.
Sure hope you find something simple that will cure your little baby up!
Best of luck with your pet!
