Urinalysis results pg2 #33 Coping with FLOODS!

Just checking in to see if you'd heard anything.

Three white fluffies went to see the vet today.

Lacey hopped up on a chair and patiently waited her turn.

Marlin was the usual Drama King.

Willy wanted petting and tummy rubs.

Some things don't change!

Lacey: needs to lose 2 pounds. Vet agrees with me she "may" be having hypoglycemic episodes, next time it happens I am to rush her in instead of pulling her through it myself. See if we can get a confirmation via blood glucose test. If so, this is quite rare in an adult bichon. She didn't go into what it means. Heartworm test was negative. Lacey got her rabies and distemper shots and is good for 3 years.

Willy has a right ear infection (got antibiotic drops for that) and a right eye infection which looks like he had an eye ulcer, that is clearing up. In addition to his multiple eye drops daily, he will need antibiotic drops for that to. I just hope I don't confuse the ear and eye stuff! Heartworm test negative. He got his 3 year distemper shot (last year was a 1 year as we had no info on him every having one before).

Marlin won the Drama King award AGAIN. It takes me plus 2 vet techs to hold him so the vet can do her thing. Overall he is in very good health! Blood work is in process, will get the results on Thursday. Kidney disease is not suspected (whew! ) as he has such a good appetite. Thyroid issues, diabetes or Cushings all still in the running. This will be the 3rd set of blood tests since he started having issues last November / December.

Getting the blood sample was . . . not fun. Tried the front leg, the jugular, and the rear leg (which finally worked). In the end there was red blood over all 4 of us, the exam table, the wall, and of course Marlin. We all got cleaned up before leaving the room.

Heart worm test negative, and he had his 3 year distemper shot.


We were there an hour and a half, came home and I took a half hour nap!

Aww, poor babies! I hope the vet can clear up Marlin's troubles easily with a blood test. Keep us posted.

[robinh]

Poor babies.....and Mom. I took two to the vet and thought I should be shot. You are my hero to take three.

Will keep my fingers crossed for Marlin.

Still hoping nothing serious for Marlin. Three to the vet at once??? No way would I even try to take my two pups at the same time! RB Lacey and RB Mandy,
I might have managed, but not these two goofballs!

[Freedom]

Lol, I usually take in 3 or more pets at a time, as my vet gives a good discount on the office exam fee for 3 or more.

Prayers for Darlin' Marlin - hoping that nothing really serious is going on. Please deliver a big smoochie from me, and of course to the rest of the flock too.

When I had my 3 Lhasas, I took all 3 to the vet at one time if it was for routine visits. It was a real circus - each one wanting to go in a different direction! Now when I take the 2 Fuzzbuttz in at the same time, I carry Myndi and let Sparky stay on the leash. Can't even count the number of times they tripped me when I let both walk!!!
