    Update: Six and counting, Spunky's much better.

    See my last post.


    This is more of a vent and some news.

    This is the 3rd vet visit in two weeks. And I have a 4th two weeks from now to get LJ spayed and her rabies shot. This has been an expensive month.

    Friday night Spunky developed what looked like allergic rhinitis. His eyes were red and runny and there was infected goop running from his eyes. So off to the vet this morning (before getting the car serviced.) He has an upper and lower respiratory infection (he could hear the wheezing) and the vet will call early in the week to see how he is doing. WOW. He got some antibiotics and a refill on the eye cream.

    This is an old vet that is a new one again. About 4 weeks back, I took Spunky and Sam to a different vet (to check him out, too) to get some shots and to treat their chronic infections, congested sinus for Spunks and stomatitus for SAM. HE said they were fine, but I was worried. I could hear Spunky's lungs and smell Sam's breath.

    To keep it short, I won't be going back to the vet of 4 weeks back.

    It seems that most of the vets in the area follow similar pricing practices. Shots are expensive and include multiple services. You can't get around it. I thought of taking LJ to the human society for her spay but the HS requires every vacc they can think of before they will do surgery.

    At least the vet today was nice.

    More later
