Critter update

Michael in Critters, Dogs, Medical, tags: Art Dude, beep beep beep, brandy, Dafydd, emergency vet, family drama, miniature pincher, PayPalBrandy, my Miniature Pincher got out some time two days ago. Got clipped by a car, resulting in a dash to the emergency vet, where they wanted to do all sorts of things to her. Roughly $800.00 worth of things. After my PayPal card went “beep beep beep” on the card machine (i.e. declined), the on duty vet said that really, we could just clean it and close it and have us take her to our normal vet in the morning. That’s $98 or so. PayPal could deal with that.
He, of course, said this after the normal amount of family drama, due to me having my mothers Gold Card on me, but her not being there, and several cell phone calls back and forth.
Trip to the vet in the morning happened. Lady Vet said that the wound looked good, and that her (Brandy, not the vet) heart and lungs sounded OK and she wasn’t walking or acting like she was in distress, so she (Vet, not Brandy) really didn’t think she needed to X-Ray her, unless she (Brandy, not Vet) starts acting different. Lady Vet put her on antibiotics for 2 weeks and told me that her staples needed to come out in two weeks. Art Dude, bless his heart, asked “so, do you use a needle nose to do that”?
We go back to the vet in two weeks.
