Brief Frankie update

[beeniesmom]

We went back to the vet today,again, for a check up.
The vet said that we still can't rule out an inner ear infection. Since he has been on meds only for a week they want to continue on for two.
After that, she said that I may want to have a neurologist do some tests on him to see if he has nerve damage of some kind.
All this sounds pretty expensive. I didn't know that there were dog neurologists.... sigh.
I would prefer to just leave him as he is. He is perfect to me. My husband would like to pursue a specialist if necessary.
We'll see.

That's where pet insurance comes in handy. Yep, they have opthalmologists, cardiologists, every kind of specialist these days. I pray it's nothing more serious than his poor little ears.

Mandy saw cardiology specialist both at Cleveland and OSU. Yes it's expensive, but maybe not as bad as you're thinking. I will still hope and pray there is no need, that Frankie simply does have an ear infection.

Hoping that it is just an infection, and that Frankie is back to normal in not time. Kisses to both of those cuties.

I hope you can find out what's wrong with Frankie. Poor little guy.

Wishing you and little Frankie the best Carmen . Must be so difficult. {{hugs}}

No improvement. He's been on meds for 11 days now.
My bosses vet referred me to a doggie neurologist.
He is in the same town as my MIL (about an hour away) and we have an appointment for November 3rd.
My hubby will be taking him for the consult/second opinion and MRI if this vet thinks it's necessary.
This vet is charging $150.00 only for the consult... no tests. Sheesh!

Only the best for our babies, right?

More prayers going little Frankie's way!

Ouch!

Good luck, little Frankie. You have lots of pawsitive vibes coming from Texas.

[Ginger's Mom]

Hope it is nothing serious. Maybe you will see some improvement before that. Fingers crossed.
