Carmen, Frankie?

[Jadapit]

Wasn't today the day Frankie went to the vet? If you have been what did the vet have to say? Good news I hope.

[beeniesmom]

Yes, I went to the vet.
Not good news.
I was actually trying to find the words to write about what happened.
Maybe later.

Oh, I'm sorry! I hope I didnt make you feel worse. I hate to hear that it wasnt good news.

[caseysmom]

You have all of us to lean on if you need it, don't forget we all feel the same about our babies and we will understand. I sure hope your okay.

[beeniesmom]

ok... I'm trying not to cry and hoping for the best.

I went to the vet.

1) First we talked about the neuter. Everything was good. She removed the stiches and said it looked fine.

2) I asked her about the eye and told her it didn't look good to me and that it was still bleeding at times. She said it looked fine. Then I asked her about why I wasn't told about the doctor switch. She said "What switch?. I did the all the surgeries".
Then I told her that on the bill, it was clearly stated that the other vet did the eye and she said "oh no, must be a glitch in the system. I did everything. Besides It's clearly written here on the file that you only want me for your dogs."

The whole time I felt like I was being feed a bunch of crap.

When I told her about the tongue thing she said that he could have an inner ear infection causing the whole right side of his face to be messed up/paralised etc... She also asked if he walked crooked and I said yes, and showed her. She then said that she thinks there is something wrong with his brain stem. Maybe a lesion or something.

Now he is on a bunch of meds. For two weeks I have to HOPE that it IS an inner ear infection. She didn't think that the eye surgery could have damaged the right side of his face.

:''''(

I hope this was clear and not too jumbled.... oh and I forgot to mention he has bad allergies and she put him on prenisone too for that... so he won't chew his feet.

[caseysmom]

You know it may be a simple inner ear infection. The ear is very involved in balance, I was so dizzy once I threw up and it was an inner ear problem, I couldn't even walk, that was years ago. Don't think the worse he may be just fine after taking the meds.

[lv4dogs]

Oh Carmen I feel so bad for you & Frankie. This is not something I was looking forward to.
You have LOTS of love, hugs & happy thoughts coming your way from us all.
I hope & pray that it is something simple like an ear infection.

If you ever need anything I am here for you. You will be in our thoughts until this is settled.

[PJ's Mom]

Carmen, we're all here for you and Frankie, crossing our fingers and paws, hoping it's just an inner ear infection.

You know, there's nothing stopping you from getting a second opinion if you're really worried.

[k9krazee]

Oh You and Frankie will be in my thoughts and prayers...We will hope its only an ear infection and he will return to normal asap...I'm sorry.

[finn's mom]

Yeah, my first thought when you originally said that about his tongue was something to do with balance. If you felt like you were being fed a bunch of crap even from the vet you trust(ed), have you thought about going to completely different vet for a second opinion? I'd hate to think he was on meds again that he didn't need. This stinks, Carmen, I'm so sorry that you and Frankie are going through all that.

[petslover]

I am sorry to hear the news that you were told, but I will put him in my prayers.

[Flatcoatluver]

I'm so sorry!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Anita Cholaine]

I'm so sorry Sending good thoughts and prayers.... ((((hugs))))
