the vet,, again
i had an appointment set to take banjo back to the vet tomorrow afternoon for a recheck of blood and urine. he has been on the phenobarbitol for three weeks and has only had two minor seizures. instead i got to take him this morning. while he walks up the stairs i bought him to get on the bed he insists on jumping down and this morning he injured his left arm. i called the vet and the first available appointment was at 2pm today. after watching him closely and seeing that he was indeed in pain i called the vet's office back and they told me i could come in and wait but they couldn't guarantee when the doctor could see us. i walked into the office just beofre 9am and within a few minutes was called to go into an exam room. after examination the doctor said that he would x-ray banjo's arm, give him something for the pain and do the necessary lab work that would have been done tomorrow, i am to return at 11:15 for x-ray results. i almost have to laugh at myself since i spend more time at the vet than i ever did at the pediatrition!


*update: no broken bones! sprained the left shoulder and elbow. $322.82 later (including a very expensive pain med), he is back at home. at least now he is limping instead of looking at me as if to say pick me up!
