Great you are able to bring Penny in now instead of that ridiculous 2 week wait, gezzzzzz.

Glad you were able to get her in!

So Ollie is ok and doesn’t seem to be super upset about them keeping him for an hour :eek:! So we called the vets office to say we were there. After a bit the tech called us to ask us the normal questions and what Ollie was there for and so on. Then we had to put him in the vestibule and the receptionist came and got him. It was a full hour before the vet called us to tell us about how the appointment went. Then 10 more minutes for the receptionist to call for payment! Why did they take him if they weren’t ready so he could sit there in a room or cage by himself? Ugh. Anyway he is 15.6 pounds and that is his perfect weight. She also said how great his teeth were for a 2 year old yorkie and that only the back molars had a little bit of tarter. He is a little tired but was playing with Penny when we first got home. He was laying a little weird with the hip that got the shot so I’m thinking he might be a little uncomfortable but I have pain meds and know his dose if it starts really bothering him. He is now curled up in his favorite bed.

Not sure why the picture turned

Good for you Ollie! It sounds like you were a very brave little man.

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...

So here is the Penny update. They did a cytology of her ears and paws. The good news was there was no yeast the bad news is there was some bacteria and inflammation. She got a cytopoint shot and a convinia ( antibiotic) shot, she also has ear drops she has to put in twice a day and her ears must be cleaned once a day. I am to use the duexo pads on her paws twice a day. She was in there for an hour too but she is so confadent that she’s ok with that. The good news also is that I used to give Callie her cytopoint shot so I can do that in the future with Penny and it means Penny doesn’t have to go into the vet every 6 weeks or so. We took my car because it’s smaller and easier to keep cool vs my moms van.

Thank you :D It's been so hot here sitting with out the AC would just be crazy but it does seem to use a lot of gas to do that in a van. My car is kinda awesome because its very small but its also still roomy inside. Penny was fine without the car seat although she did miss being able to see out of the window easier. She is very much like Callie was which is to just kinda go with the flow of things.
