Gypsy has had enough with the fluids.

Gypsy is so lucky to have you as her mama. I know you will do everything possible to make her feel comfortable.

When I have to take Bailey's urine, I just slip the cup underneath her and make her pee right into it.

Thanks Randi. I usually get it with the soup ladle just fine but I think I keep forgetting with Gypsy's inverted vulva hers aims further up at an angle not straight down. :rolleyes2:
 
Thank you for the update! So sorry it wasn't very helpful or reassuring :cool:. Like randi said, you're a good mama...hang in there Dawn. :sadsmile:
 
Sorry to hear your vet visit wasn't more productive, Dawn. It's tough acclimating to a new vet. You might request Dr. Bruce when you call to make an appointment...that way you know you get your own guy, and if he's away you know in advance and can wait if possible. That's what I do with my vet. It's frustrating to get someone who doesn't know your dog's history.

I hope things go well this week and everything is OK until your vet gets back. Sending you hugs and pats to Gypsy!!
 
Oh my! That has to be one of the most unproductive veterinary visits I have ever heard of. You poor thing trying to help Gypsy in her major struggle and getting a less than stellar vet. You are certainly in our prayers tonight and what a lucky little dog Gypsy is to have you both.
I once had a vet friend say to me when I was complaining about trying to find a good vet, "You know what they call a graduating veterinary student with a C average? Dr." Hold on. There are a lot of people rooting for you all.
 
Sometimes, before we get a good vet 'fit' we have to advocate the heck out of the situation. That does add a lot of stress.

Gee, it is hard enough to find a good doctor for people and we have a voice that is heard our little ones only have a bark. Agenda so many agendas with so many doctors, it is head spinning how difficult it can be to simply get the best of care or to get them to want to give the best level of care.

In the hospital where I worked, I will always remember my doctor friends, telling me that when a person laughs or makes them smile, they are so happy to oblige them as well as eager to see them, but what of those who are 'happy challenged?" I often wondered about that, especially when you are feeling just sick and not able to 'perform.'

You know that all love is going out to Gypsy, to you, to Stan.

I don't think it is really a case of her not being a good vet, I am giving her the benefit of the doubt thinking she did not want to step on Dr Bruce's toes, She was very young so probably new to the clinic and still does not have alot of experience under her belt. I am hoping this was the case.

I felt lucky to have my Sister here and she has been really happy with Dr Bruce, unfortunately he was away.

Thanks you always for your kind words and thoughts Hugs.
