Vetspeed Nite Express

Finally took the dogs to the vet on our Vetspeed Nite Express, as Tinsel's still pooping blood and Kimba's getting more pimples.

Thanks to Cindy for recommending her vet and for making the appointment for us. The clinic is immaculately clean and efficient, and the vet, Dr. Yim, is professional, knowledgeable and extremely approachable.

Tentative diagnosis for Tinsel's tummy trouble is a weakening of the microflora in her intestines due to prolonged use of the steroids and antibiotics for her ear infection. Will get final confirmation from the path test on her stools, but at least it doesn't look like she's caught anything serious. Phew!

And her ear....turns out that her ear infection has cleared up already but then she's getting an allergic reaction to the long term and overuse of the ear wash that was prescribed by her previous vet. He actually reminded us to wash Tinsel's ears twice daily just a few days ago! What a bloody "yellow green doctor".

As for Kimba....he's now our official Fungi Boy - Doc prescribed some meds and twice daily cleaning of his "pimples". It's only 2 hours since he took his meds and he's stopped scratching completely. Not bad. At least we can all get a good night's rest tonight then. Unless Tinsel starts pooping again, that is.

But I got the feeling that everything's going to be alrrr-right for them.

So now I should go catch a few hours before I get up real early for the Discovery Bay Adoption Day. Send us your love and support as we really want to find a few good homes for the pups at the shelter!

Go puppies go!
