I was barking and panting, hoping we were going to the park. Well, it wasn't the park! I knew where we were so I kept panting, I was anxious. Mom decided to have my yearly blood work done instead of waiting until my other vaccines were due. They took my temperature and it was 103! They had mom remove my harness and the took me to the back room to take my blood, they also rechecked my temperature, it went down. Weird! I seem to have stressed myself into a little fever. The vet checked my ears and said one was a little inflamed, probably pollen allergies. I know it's February but we already have flowers and lots of pollen this year! They wanted a urine sample, but I'm the kind of dog who likes to mark all the grass, so I was empty after I had marked the parking lot. BOL!! If only I had known I would have to go back, I would have saved some! At least my anals weren't infected. We left with a bottle of spray for my allergy ear.
Finally we went to the park! Yaay!!! But mom made me stay in the shade and kept the walk very short. Next we went to my favorite place! The cookie store!!!! I love it there!! It is called 3 Dogs & A Chick. Mom let me have a cheesy cookie and pick out a fancy cookie to eat on Valentine's day!!
So I thought hooray!! No more vet for a year! right?? Turns out I was wrong, Friday we went back to vet and mom didn't let me mark the grass, she carried me instead of letting me walk! I knew where we were and started panting like crazy. Mom handed me over to the tech to go in the back room to have my urine drawn, hoping I had some in me. BOL!! Well I sure did!! the one lady put me on the floor to hand me over to the other lady and I proceeded to piddle from anxiety! But I stopped and managed to save enough for the sample they wanted. They checked my temperature and it was normal. Maybe I was just hot when we went on Tuesday, the weather was much cooler on Friday. I have a feeling I won't get out much this Summer.
I REALLY hope I don't need to go tot he vet again this week! BOL!!! I know, today is Saturday the week is over. Mom says I shouldn't need to go back until June, then I will be due for more vaccines. Then mom says, if I scoot too much I will have to go back to vet to have my anals done again. Darn! Can't a Pom catch a break?!
I think mom should give me more cookies! But she says no, no extra cookies because I gained .2 pounds. I now weigh 13.4 instead of 13.2. At least my body condition is still ideal and I don't need to lose weight!
Do any of you have any interesting vet stories to share? I would love to hear them!
I'm not due back at the vet until June or July. My visits are usually short and sweet, except fur the surgery I had befure Christmas. My bordetella lasts fur a year! I don't even notice that shot, or the 6-in-one. But when I get the rabies shot it makes me yelp, and urka! Thank dogness, that's only evfurry three years!

Oh Dog! Ya better watch them vets! Mine told me I was fat!
ReplyDeleteHi Rumpy! Thank you! I don't think you look fat!
DeleteI have skin allergies and go to the vet quite often which I get tired of. Sometimes my ears are infected from my allergies and have to have medicine to put in my ears. When my atopica doesn't stop my bumps then I have to get steroids shots. You are lucky you don't have to have all that done. I go back to the vets for a followup on March 3.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Hugs! That isn't fun at all, so sorry you have such awful allergies. With such severe allergies, you probably have a strict diet too, so no cookies after vet visit? I feel so sorry for you, paw hugs. I hope things get better.

Well the last time I went I gained 4lbs!!! So I've been on a diet and when I went back I lost a pound! I also have allergies so I go more than I like! Mom has been to our vets office a lot the past couple of months because with 4 pups something is always going on!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! Yaay!!! for losing a pound!! That's a big deal on a little dog! High paw!!! Sorry you have allergies, I hope they get better. 4 pups must keep your mom very busy!

I'm sorry you had to go to the vet so many times this week. I hate the vet. Luckily, I've never been sick :-)
