I am just so thankful our vets are still seeing our pooches. I take Piper to a local clinic and can always get her in quickly (sometimes day of call). However, if I want to see Piper's regular doctor, I must call ahead as he is only in one day/week--but he knows Piper (and me) and is just wonderful with diagnosis and best treatments. Plus he came in specially to do surgery on Piper just as pandemic hit. Always we wait in car until tech comes to carry Piper; they know NOO leash, but put clinic one over her neck for safety which is fine by me. Techs get Piper when doctor is ready to see her...One plus is that I've met several really nice people while we are waiting in our cars. Dr Welch always calls just before they carry Piper back out (15-20 minutes) and explains everything to me. I am very fortunate to have "found" such a great and accommodating situation for Piper; all staff are compassionate and understanding--and they "get" me which is HUGE!!
I give Piper a 1/4 tab of: Chlorpheniramine Maleate (4mg)every twelve hours (IF needed) which helps reduce itching of ears and licking of feet.
I'm glad little Ollie is doing so well and was such a good and brave little guy during his "big boy" visit to doctor!! Big smooches. And glad YOU made it through, too, Taylor. It's a tough new world out there...
