TO THE VET WE GO

Well it is Monday, March 6, and Cedar got up this morning still favoring her left back leg, so I called and got a 10 a.m. appointment at Brandywine Hundred Veterinary Hospital. Took Cedar and Charcoal, leaving in her kennel Aspen Marcom who was loudly crying (It really got to me how much the girls love each other -- they do not like to be separated!). Samantha (she is newly divorced and studying interior decorating in college) took us into Exam Room # 3 where Dr. Hardy spent a good half hour checking the pups and chatting. He gave Cedar a shot and 20 pills that I need to give her the next ten days and evenings. If the shot and pills don't appear to relieve the suspected inflamation, I will need to take Cedar back for x-rays and more treatment for whatever is discovered. Charcoal got her Lyme's booster shot and we discussed the need to have her teeth cleaned and maybe a cyst removed. Total cost for the visit to the Vet was about $236. Emailed Byron with a report and we emailed back and forth reference getting Charcoal fixed up. I will call Sam Tuesday afternoon and ask her to find out if teeth clean and cyst removal can be done while Charcoal is knocked out. Also want check about other lumps that may or may not need to be removed.
