laurie Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 So the vet was supposed to call me today after looking at the xrays from yesterday with the radiologist. Never called. I'm on pins and needles all day, on the brink of tears all day, and no call. I finally called them on break at school tonight, around 7. He was GONE FOR THE DAY. Seriously, this is my CHILD we're talking about here. How does he forget to call?? I know, I know, he's busy, he has more patients than my boy, etc. etc., blah blah blah. I KNOW. At least my brain knows. But my heart, not so much. The vet tech said she would tell him to call me in the AM. So I go back to class. And think I'm going to throw up with the waiting and wondering. I got out of school @ 2130, and there's a message on my VM from the tech saying the vet called in right after we talked, and told her to call me back and tell me the radiologist SAW NOTHING TO SUGGEST ANYTHING BAD!!!!!!!!! And to tell me he would call me tomorrow, and not to worry. HOWEVER. Two vets saw "something" yesterday. And he is still not breathing right. And he has still lost a total of 13 pounds. So what is wrong with him? Guess I'll know what the plan is after talking to the vet tomorrow. IF HE REMEMBERS TO CALL ME. ARRGHGGHHHHH!!!!!! You people, thank you all so much for your prayers and good thoughts for my boy. You're all amazing, and I'm thankful for every one of you. Keep those prayers coming.

Burpdog Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Is the area of concern something that will show with a scope? Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 It must be frustrating! I'd keep calling until you get your answers! Good luck and prayers from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurie Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Haven't heard from him yet. Quote Laurie **& Angels Emily, Beatrice, Okie, Rhemus ,Vixen, and Rose-always in my heart** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikibean Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Haven't heard from him yet. If this is Dr. Rosen, Vic had a horrible time trying to get him on the phone and to call her back when Warrior was going through chemo. It was so bad they switched vets mid chemo treatment. I think he's so busy now that they got bought out by VCA he doesn't have the time he used to. She had to bug the crap out of them to get any answers at all.

laurie Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) Yeah, him. I always really liked him, but since they got bought by VCA, things are different. eta: No reason to go above and beyond, I guess, since they have no $$ interest in the business any more, and they get paid the same no matter what they do or don't do. Sad. eta x 2: I truly mean no disrespect to veterinarians. It is what it is.

Burpdog Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Sending lots of prayers. Is the specialist doing the scope? Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurie Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) PS--I'm taking him to a chiropractor Monday. Hopefully that'll help with his back and legs. Nope on the specialist doing the scope. It's my reg. vet.
