It's OK I was just venting.
Will post again with an update when I know more.
For now she's doing well.
Thanks again. She enjoyed the extra treat!  |
Another update on the vet saga........
Winkipop is doing better - I think mostly because of the Cephalexin I had leftover from 2017 I have been giving her but maybe also the Cranberry supplements over the past 4 days.
I haven't noticed any blood in her pee pee for 2 days now.
So I drop by the vets to pick up the results of her blood test, which the vet insisted on doing before re-writing her meds for her mobility issue.....and while I was there I told the vet tech - the one that said her leaking was just because she was old - that I did some research and came to the conclusion she had a UTI and was giving her these Cephalexin, and the Cranberry supplements, and it seemed to be working. But I was down to my last Cephalexan, and do you think the vet would extend me the courtesy of providing a few more just to make sure we've got it knocked out?"
She said she agreed it made sense and she would ask the vet and call me later.
Well I just got home and her message was the vet would need to see her again and get a urinalysis before he could prescribe or offer any anti-biotics.
Now, she's had the Cephalexin before - without issue. Heck I've given her 8 capsules just over the past 4 days. And she was taking them back in2017 - without issue.
All I wanted is just a handful to make sure we keep the infection knocked out.
Then she says (and this is the kicker) they are booked up until sometime in May.
In other words......we're on our own.
Eff him and eff them........as I said before.....all we need once in a while is a little assistance.
Not all vets are like this. Not all offices are like this.
Hopefully this last Cephalexin will help along with the supplements.
She got a nice bath this morning!
