Pets of the expanse!

We have one cat on phenobarbitol and he's OK if a bit logey and voraciously hungry, a known side effect. Over the last several months I actually managed to get the two of them on a feeding schedule just like dogs. Try that why don'tcha ! That's next level puss wrangling.

Our dog decided to join the fun by spraying poop and vomit so she's been on Flagyl which acts like a chemical cork, stopped that right away. She'll be fine but it's time to rent the carpet cleaning machine again.

We took the cat off phenobarbitol. We understand there is an adjustment period and it takes time to act but not to put too fine a point on it the 'cure' was worse than the problem.

Like human doctors you have to be your own informed advocate. The two we've dealt with are too goddamned quick with that prescription pad, again like human doctors. We are going to try homeopathic alternatives. Those worked out well with an old dog we had.

We have one of our cats in the vet today for a minor surgery. About a month ago we had a benign growth removed and they suggested they dig deeper and get all of it. OK. Problem is when we went there this morning they can't find it. If we didn't trust them we would be there but we smell bullshit and are impatiently waiting for the phone to ring.

Yeah, long story but yesterday was a Class A shitshow. Long story but four strikes and you're out, we'll be finding another vet in the area presently. Like a bad relationship you look back and say 'should've seen that ......'
