Hi Woofers!
Daisy Dog here again.
Well, what a fun day today!
We went out earlier than normal 'cos Old Two Legs let the vet book an early morning appointment!
So, we turn up and get to list the reasons why I'm there.
1. Worming Tablet
2. Claws clipped
3. Check-up
Why is it that the thing that looks like a normal run of the mill test always throws up a big question mark?
Claw cutting was fun, best of four falls, two knock downs or knock-out!
We started off in the consulting room but then got moved to the 'Back Office' where the vet had one end of me while the nurse held onto the other end!
In the end it was the best of four and I came back to OTL saying I had sorted them out!
Next was the check-up, check my belly for spots and listen to my heart! The vet says I have a heart murmur which is not unusual in a woofer my size.
She said there were two ways we could go. First is to have a heart scan but that means going to a specialist and OTL will have to fork out £750:00!
Second is to go on a course of tablets that pumps up my heart and cuts down the murmur and makes me feel all big and strong. If that works then I might be on these pills for the rest of my days!
I'm already on a pill that helps control my weak bladder so one more to stop me murmuring is no problem!
Back home I got the first of the pills and an hour or so later I got a nibble of chicken, OTL says I've got to go at least an hour after taking the pill for maximum effect!
Can't wait for lunchtime, I might be strong enough to beat up those hooligan poodles!

Well, I didn't see any poodles but I did see a big brown Labrador but they were so far away I decided not to bother with him! While I was looking at the Labrador, OTL decided to take a quick photo of me, not very good and too far away! |
One good thing, I get to take my pill at least twice a day and an hour before any food, so that should be easy to do!
See you all tomorrow.
Luv,
Daisy Dog.
Yo Daisy, sounds like you won all the rounds at the vets this morning. I'm on them pills wot you're on as well. I think they're quite tasty but I'm not overly happy with this waiting for an hour before I get some scoff. I've been scanned twice and I don't have to go again until April next year. Tell OTL to shop around for estimates on the scans, my mum reckons mine is cheaper than wot your vet quoted and I go to the Royal Vet College for mine, bit of a trek for you though. Seems like you have to get an estimate for everything these days. Smashing pictures today. My mum tricked me today, she said I was going to see Caroline this afternoon but somehow I ended up going this morning. I was not a happy chappie you know. I'll share a little trick with you about this murmur business .......... it's a good card to keep under your tail to use when you're in a bit of bother .... the whole ..... don't tell me off cos I've got a heart condition is better than a get out of jail free card, then there's the I need a siesta but I need someone to cuddle me on account of my heart condition, that's another good one to play ...... just think Daisy, next time you go for a dip or a roll in something stinky, when OTL is jumping up and down, just use the heart thingy to get him to let you do as you want. My boy is home but with no apple turnovers ...... seems the shop sold out before he got there ..... my mum will just have to munch her coffee and walnut cake to make up for her disappointment. My boy is off work tomorrow so if he's good, I might let him have a wrestle, but he has to let me win on account of I'm only little and I have a heart condition ....... Take care and stay safe all. Love, licks and sniffs from little (old soldier) Arch and the others. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
