 Brinkly is doing GREAT!!
I just wanted to thank everyone for the help and thoughts and prayers for Brinkly. Everything went smoothly and he was back to normal in 24 hours. It was so funny when he got home. He was so sleepy but he didn't want to miss anything so he would literally fall asleep standing up! It was so cute! He had to have 5 teeth pulled, which is more than I expected. He was also micro-chipped.
Thank you all so much for sharing your experiences with me. It was so hard giving him to the nurses, but I really believe I chose the best place for him to have it done. I took him in around 8:00 and they called to me tell me they were finished w/ him around 12:30 and I could pick him up. I had no idea they would be finished w/ him that soon! When I got there the doctor met w/ me and answered every question. So far this vet is the nicest I've been to so far but I've only had experiences with 2 others besides him. The great thing was I spent in all 236.60. An interesting side note is that I did have him scheduled with another doctor for that day, but a week before the vet had a fire that burned down either part or the whole building and shut them down for the time being. It was really sad b/c the fire was in the kennel part of the building and killed like 8 or 9 dogs and cats. So I just stumbled upon this vet (His name is Dr. Drake for those that live in Alabama and need a good vet) when I was looking through the phone book to find another vet.
Thanks again for all the help! Sorry for the long winded post!=)
