Re: New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

Ivy is home! I can't even begin to express how happy I am. She did so well during surgery and recovery that they were actually able to remove her chest tube and send her home the next day instead of her staying 2-3 days like they expected. We still haven't decided on the MRI, and we're going to disc...

Re: New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

A new update on Ivy. I called the specialist my husband's cousin recommended as soon as they opened yesterday morning and they originally made an appointment for this coming Thursday, but this morning her records came from our local vet and once the specialist reviewed them she called and asked that...

Re: New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

The vet said it was canine, and based on where I live it could have been a dog, but was most likely a coyote. We have a den on the hill behind our house and we actually lost a barn cat the week before to them. We have a guardian dog, but she's old so she's mostly retired while she lives out the rest...

Re: New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

I currently have an appointment with a specialty vet 3 hours away on the 18th which is the soonest they could see her without a referral. My husband's cousin, who is a vet tech, also recommended a different specialist who's a bit closer so I'm going to call them tomorrow when they open and see if th...

Re: New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

Thank you both. I've been worrying that maybe I was just being overly sensitive because of the situation. I'm glad I'm not overreacting. It's just so frustrating because he has always been a good vet up until now. I really think he disagrees with my decision to keep her. I'll figure out what is avai...

New, Lost, and Frustrated with Vet

Hi everyone! I'm Kait and last Friday I came home to find my 7 y/o aussie mix Ivy had been attacked and wasn't able to move her hind legs. I rushed her to my local vet who recommended that I leave her for the weekend for steroids and fluids to see if she regained any function. I left the office deva...
