Vetalicious

I do like our new vet at Passionate Paws on Old Maryborough Road.

We took psychotic dog Ruby there this afternoon for a checkup and to have her eyes checked.

She is almost blind and has dry eyes, so we got some drops for her, which have to be administered twice daily.

She has a  heart murmur which is not a problem unless she starts coughing.

She has troublesome anal glands which, much to Ruby’s dismay, the vet unblocked.

She got her nails clipped.

She may have diabetes, but she’s too old to bother treating it, so we’re ignoring it.

She has lost 1.2kgs since the last vet visit about 2yrs ago, so we have to increase her protein intake. The vet recommends kangaroo meat for that because it’s got no fat and it’s less likely to cause allergies.

Last week Colli cost us just under $140. This week Ruby cost us just over $140. Next week is Jack’s turn.

I feel very comfortable putting our dogs in Dr Finnis’s caring and capable hands and I love that her “go to” is NOT a prescription for everything. She has good knowledge of natural remedies for animals too. She is gentle, considerate and practical.

I like her a lot.

A quiet day in the shop and some new stock was delivered so my morning was filled with getting that sorted and there should be some more delivered tomorrow.

The weather has been wet but oppressively hot and uncomfortable. We have left the air conditioner on all night for two nights in a row.

Ugh.

Time for some sleep. Nadal has just won his match, so I’ve had my fill of tennis for the evening.

Nite all.
