Thank you for caring and replying.
He let me stay. There is a scale in the room. No one tried to put anything over on me.
The plan is to see what the antibiotics do. Give it 2 weeks to 1 month to see how he improves. Sam got just the one shot. The doc's goal was to reduce the inflammation so that Sam would clean his teeth.
Then on to some steroids, which I will do once jsut to see if it helps.
After that there might be some testing if it doesn't improve some. I'm not a big fan of testing. If the condition worsens I don't think the testing will tell us much. just rather move ahead to the surgery.
I did ask (because he didn't mention) if cleaning would help. He said it would, but I got the impression he doesn't push it on people.
He did say we might just have ot medicate routinely to keep it under control.
I wish I hadn't waited now. I put this off because of the last bad experience. I've never had a vet that bad before.
Oh and this clinic had 4 resident cats, one of whom is named "Hobbles", a tripod. They have free roam of the clinic.
I think I knew then that this was the place and I was calm and at peace while there. I wish Sam had been at peace.
