2 am with coffee and dogs
Up early getting ready for an ESL class. Took Zenji to a different vet Friday morning. We've been to this one before but only for rabies vaccines. Both the vet and her vet tech are super nice people and really care about animals. Her rates are low compared to most of the other vets in town but I guess if you're not paying for a brand new building you don't have to overcharge clients.
No new diagnosis from the new vet as of yet. She requested all of Zenji's medical records from the two previous vets and is going to review the results. She felt it wasn't necessary to repeat blood work or x-rays and she did give me a new prescription for Zenji's pain meds (carprofen).
We did discuss the possibility of Zenji's cancer returning. I told her if it is cancer causing Zenji's discomfort, I'm not going to pursue any type of treatment. I just want Zen to be happy and pain-free until it is her time to go.
Sometimes a dog can break your heart.
Take care,
Teresa, Zenji and CeeCee
