sutsibe Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 So very glad that her spine is ok - thanks for the update! Poor Diesel - sounds like he needs a walk and some one-on-one time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val (Zebedee) Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 thank you everyone ... I love this place for the support I am a bit peeved today, the vet never called so I rang early afternoon to be told the x-ray machine was not working properly & they bloke was fixing it now, and the ortho vet, Duncan, would call me as soon as. 18:10 tonight, still no call, so I rang the vets to hear a voice message "the surgery is now closed, please call tomorrow" - like Hell I will!! So I rang the emergency number! The young lad on reception answered, I explained & he apologised saying he will go & speak with Duncan & either he or a nurse will call back. 40 mins later, Duncan rang, they still have no x-ray machine, so she will stay in again and if the machine is not fixed tomorrow morning, Mysh will be shipped to another surgery for the x-ray or scan. so, over 48 hrs after this all started, she has been dosed with morphine, had a little walk for investigation purposes & that's it, still no nearer what is wrong! The only half positive thing he did say was, she was responding to the pain meds & turning round in her crate, if it was spinal, she wouldn't want to move, but the meds must be taking the edge off the pain & she feels a little like moving. But we're going to have to wait again to find out for sure. I'm not holding my breath yet. Duncan said he is in meetings all day tomorrow, but has given me his personal mobile number & if we've heard nothing by 5pm (ANOTHER 22 HRS!!) to call him for an update Are humans treated like this or am I just blinkered cos it's my girl in there?? Even Diesel broke my heart when I came home from work, I usually get greeted with a loud, rumbling "woowoooooooooo!" - tonight, nothing! He looked straight passed me for his sister!! So until tomorrow, that is all we know .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 aww val - welling up here - poor mysh - thats not right they should have took her sumwhere else for the xray anyway instead of making her stay there longer - n poor D to *hugs* glad she is responding to the pain meds tho and that its not a spinal injury xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffmonster Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Unfortunately us humans are treated the same. Worse probably! Sometime I can't get a docs appointment for 2 weeks at my surgery. Poor Mysh And poor D too! Do you want to borrow a monster to keep him occupied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'd get her to another vet, if I were you. The one you're dealing with now doesn't look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snssewell Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Oh Val....Soooo sorry...things don't seem to go right. I would be sooooo mad! You must be worried to death especially knowing she is sitting there at the vets and not home. I see that a lot that even Vet's treat animals like it is no rush to find out whats wrong. I thought it was just me that felt that way. I really hope they call you soon tomorrow with some news so at least you know whats going on and maybe can bring her home and treat her there. LOTS OF HUGS HUNI!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutsibe Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'd get her to another vet, if I were you. The one you're dealing with now doesn't look very good. Not necessarily. There are days at a veterinary hospital when every animal that comes in, is an emergency, and everything goes wrong - and it will occur on the same day! The treatment they're giving her - keeping her quiet and caged, plus the use of pain killers - is right, and he did give her his mobile number. Sometimes it's easier on the dog (especially when they have drugs in their system) to be crate-rested away from home. It's a change in routine, and there aren't so many things to make them want to get up and about when they shouldn't. Hard on their people and other pack, though!

Val (Zebedee) Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I know, Gigi, I understand totally what you're saying, what is getting to me is they know what they want to do (x-ray or scan) but they know the machine is broken. what if an emergency came in & needed it? Mysh is not classed as emerbency, I totally know that, but it is prolonging the diagnosis & therefore the remedy. If the remedy was to have total crate rest & staying there meant it was for the better, I'd whole-heartedly agree with that, I'm just annoyed that they have not got an alternative in place if this is the only machine, or at least transported her to another surgery for the scan / x-ray & started on the diagnosis / cure, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, wish my memory were better! I understand you impatience, regardless! Having worked at veterinary hospitals, I know that they sometimes do use other facilities when necessary, but usually have to work around two facilities schedules to get patients in. Usually while scrambling to get things back up and working "back home"! If you feel she isn't getting the care she should be, by all means, find another facility and vet! If this is a vet and facility you've been happy with, though, talk with them more, rather than throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. HUGS!
