Unnecessary trip to the white coats

[Glacier]

I've made many unnecessary trips to the vet. I told my vet once that Pingo's problem was she has a neurotic owner! He told me "better neurotic than sorry" (Turned out there really was something wrong with Pingo that time). I've taken Bandit in just because he stopped talking.. "he's lost his woo" was what I told the clinic. Paxil has been in for what turned out to be nothing too! I'm quite happy to spend 50 bucks on an office visit and have Dr. Rick tell me nothings wrong!

Glad Buddy is ok!

LOL! Okay... now THAT'S funny!!!

Lute- Holy Moley!!! 3 NAILS!! Yes, it IS pricey, but Buddy gets worms every blasted summer!!! This year is the first year of them being on Interceptor and the first year (knock on wood) we haven't had worms!! So it's very well worth it!

Pam.. I love the MasterCard commercial!

Thanks everyone for the comments!!

Wow! Buddy had HW every year??? I hope you mean intestinal worms...not that it's any better, but is less hecktic on the dog for removal. All my dogs are on Interceptor and we've been HW and intestinal worm free.

I'm sure she means intestional worms, I doubt a dog would survive multiple heartworm treatments.

Actually they can, but it makes them (pardon the pun), sick as a dog afterwards.

We've had several clients that just don't seem to believe in preventatives so they have put their dogs through HW treatments every couple years because of their ignorance. Grrrrr

No, not heart worms... intestinal worms.

No, not heart worms... intestinal worms.

Oh, I see! I'm glad Buddy has been worm free this year.
