I'm going to be driving to Indiana by June 8th and need to start getting some stuff around here ready. Getting the dogs all up-to-date on their vaccines falls on me. I thus took Sadie and my foster kitten Cochise to the animal hospital in Bisbee for exams. This was Sadie's first check-up since being placed on phenobarbital for her epilepsy last August.
Sadies' exam came back with blood levels better than before she was put on phenobarbital. But she did lose three pounds, going from 74 to almost 72 pounds.The DVM suggested she may go on a slightly higher dosage as her phenobarbital level is on the low side.
Poor Sadie looked so nervous in the exam room. Dr Snyder had to take her blood and do a few tests with that.
Cochise was oblivious to the dog as he sat in his carrier. Cochise, too, was given a clean bill of health, showing no URI nor parasites in his feces. The combined bill for me was $180, with $108 for the kitten!
I still need to get Sammy for his parvo/distemper shot and Zeke for his rabies before I head on out to Indiana. The problem now is, where is my wallet? I remember using it at the Circle K gas station in east Tuscon coming back from the Grand Canyon on Sunday, so where is that thing?! I hate starting Memorial weekend without knowing where my wallet is! A check on my credit card shows no bizarre charges, so I know it's around here somewhere. I may end up cleaning the house over the weekend just to find it. Just the thing I want to do!
