  1. OMG!! What a terrible story!!!! :angryfire I am shocked. I understand your anger, I would have been livid too. And you shouldn't have needed to kick up a fuss to get an apology. It's absolutely disgraceful. I had a crummy experience at the e-vet's once - but NOWHERE near what you went through. I was just put off by comments that appeared to be really insensitive. Merlin hurt his tail and it split open - blood everywhere. Poor baby. We rushed to the e-vet (which was a new place, they had just opened recently) and waited forever. We could hear Merlin in the back crying in his cage :cry1 and I was flipping out with worry, because he also has SA (and at the time his symptoms were much worse, so being in a strange place without us must have scared him). When we finally saw the vet, she told us he would need stitches and said in a (I swear I was not just being over-sensitive because of the worry) distinctly unimpressed tone, "Well he is not helping himself because every time someone walks by his enclosure he wags his tail and bleeds some more" - Merlin is a very friendly pup - "and we just painted these walls!" She didn't say this with a laugh or a smirk or anything like that - she was scowling. I was so taken aback I just gaped with my mouth open. Couldn't believe she would be so utterly insensitive when I was already so worried. I felt like saying, "well maybe you can pay someone to paint your walls again with the exorbitant fee you're charging me tonight". It just kinda left a bas taste in my mouth.

  8. I'm so sorry. Not been through osteo... no advice to give. Just want to send hugs... :grouphug
  9. Merlin is very good. He never bugs me about his meals. In the morning, he'll sometimes come into the kitchen and look interested, but no whining or anything. In the evening, I nearly always have to call him, as he goes to his bed after his late afternoon walk and sleeps until his dinner is ready.
  10. Oh no. I'm so sorry. :grouphug
  11. It's clear that you had a wonderful life filled with immeasurable love... Now run free, sweet girl. :f_white

  14. :wub: Cutie-pie. Keeping the lovely Darcy in my thoughts...
  15. How is your hound today? This happened to Merlin several weeks ago, when we got our first snow since last winter, and he played in it for a while. The next day he was back to normal. As a preventative, I put Musher's Secret on his paws twice a day (you don't have to use it that often) when snow or ice (and salt) are on the ground, and in the summer on very hot days to protect his paws from the hot asphalt.
  16. Sending hugs and keeping my fingers crossed that you hear good news... :goodluck
  17. Thanks for the update Eva - sorry to hear about the mass in Carrier's heart but he sounds cheerful and pretty darn healthy, all things considered! I'll continue to keep him (and you) in my thoughts :goodluck
  18. :grouphug to everyone who experienced loss... I am sending healing thoughts... it's truly heartbreaking to think of what you went/are going through.
  19. Poor baby... keeping him (and you) in my thoughts... :goodluck
