today was wyatts doc appointment for the re-check on his ears and *woohoo* all is good. everything is healed up and all that jazz so no more needed meds for him and hes in the *clear*
on a sad note.. chris lost his puppy tootsie today .. he texted me this morning to tell me that she was gone. i think in the backs of our minds we all knew it would turn out this way but we all equally hoped for the best. a brief history of what had happened..
chris took tootsie with him fishing like he always does, she was his boating buddy.. well her and his friends dog (who goes with chris). apparently they took another guy with him on this particular day and hes honestly a bit of a jackass.. i dont know why chris has anything to do with him after all he is the one that caused the death of the first tootsie and than hid it from chris (long story and past) anyways.. this guy had gone with them and they told him specifically not to allow the dogs to get into the clams dont ask me what the clams were doing in the boat or why they werent just dumped over the side for crab bait, i never asked and so i dont know.. but they were there and he who (im assuming) was in the boat fishing while they clammed was told to not let the dogs get into them.. well of course he did.
tootise and bear both became seriously ill after eating the bad clams (no shells were involved just the *meat*). ron and i both feared food poisoning..
we told chris to take her to the vets and he did.. had her seen but this is where it gets real scary..
the vet her took her too which i wouldnt carry any of my animals to (ive dealt with this office in the past) didnt run one flipping test!!
from the get go they wouldnt allow him to bring her into the building, the vet had them wait outside because she was showing common symptoms of parvo (although he was informed that she was vaccinated for it) .. when the vet was ready to see them, he first gave her fluid iv (pretty much gives them a camel hump on their back) this is something i am familiar with because i had to do it with harley twice a day when he was ill.
after that the vet informed him that it could be either *parvo, food poisoning, or rat poison* there was no doubt in his head though that it was something toxic.
he gave him some meds for her and sent them on their way.
now when i called my vet in fear of the word parvo alone, i was told by them that she needed to be admitted to an animal hospital.. which she wasnt they never even mentioned it to him just *heres your meds have a good day* how can they even give meds when they dont know what they are fixing? parvo requires long bouts of iv fluids etc.. but nope none of that just some medicine..
now im upset because we dont know what the cause was, if it was parvo how safe is my clyde? they were together not long ago.. we had her here until mother picked her up .. she stayed with mother for the weekend that chris was at his dads funeral!!!
but when i called my vet the office lady was just concerned about tootsie and wouldnt discuss the parvo thing with me at all..
after tootsie passed, i called my vet yet again and explained what was going on..and asked what they could tell me about parvo..
i was told that i would have to bleach the entire back yard if thats where she was.. wow.. i need lots of bleach but its worth it for my baby boy .. dead grass and all!!
i was told that i couldnt let clyde out as long as there was bleach back there.. understandable because he cant walk in it and lick his feet or whatever.. not good for his pads.
i was told that i would have to toss out any toys they shared.. omg they shared treats when she was here that day!
i was asked about clydes shots, explained to them that he was a patient of theirs and i was informed that he was behind in shots..
behind? what the fuck? how can he be behind.. i have yet to receive notice of this.. ive been waiting i know its coming up but behind?
the stupid office bitch than tells me that she personally mails out the notices.. yeah well i never got one.. honestly truly havent gotten one..
than to top it off... im in the vet office once per month to pick up clydes meds.. i take clyde with me often because we weigh him to make sure he is on the right amounts of meds for his size (hes a growing puppy after all).. and no mention of it? i was in there in april for his rash.. again no mention of it? what the hell?? you KNEW he was there, you pulled his record to make the fucking appointment for him, you didnt once mention that he needed his shots to me? you didnt say *oh clyde needs shots you want to do them today or wait?.. no they just *left it alone* like it was going to just mysteriously pop into my brain that they werent doing their job?
yes im PISSED beyond belief at this!!
as for my clyde he is going in Tuesday morning at 9am the earliest appointment they have open to get his shots.. as for me.. yeah im still fuming at the ears!
im still no where closer to knowing if parvo has a gestation period or if its just *bam you got it your sick* that would tell me leaps and bounds what to worry with when it comes to my clyde..
i have no clue if she even had parvo but its worth killing ever grass, weed, flower, plant whatever in the back yard to save my baby!!
as for other news...
mothers durango gave us an interesting trip the other day.. we headed to pet smart to return something and than to the island to see ron at work.. we were heading to the store for him and her tires started smoking bad! we stopped at the side of the road and sure enough her break caliber was stuck..
i called ron who came to check things out, called a tow truck and went ahead to get all that done and dont you know..
1 tow, 2 break calibers, 1 break line, and $375.00 later and she has her car back .. well at least thats one thing done and off the list huh?
but yep thats been life lately.. busy, hectic, depressing, sad, happy, and crazy.. life is a roller coaster..
