yesterday we rang to say maisie (piggy) is squeaking again when weeing, and has lost weight, and that bisc might need a dental aswell because he's not eating as much hay, and his poops are smaller.
anyway, so they wrote down that we would have an appointment as usual and then they would stay if needed. turns out they both needed to stay... but the vet was really busy and they asked if they could change the day. i know i shouldn't get stressed but we wouldn't have bothered going all that way if we had known. the taxi is £50 a time, and i just wish they would have phoned when they realised they would be too busy.
i understand that some others have to take priority, but i just hate this kind of hassle. it was so hard for me today to leave the house and i nearly fainted from the anxiety, so to know we have to go all the way back again this week just makes me plus we have to pay the taxi again, and then at a reduced rate the same day to go and collect them aswell later on.
sorry for the moan, just having a bad day.
so now we have to wait to see what day we're going again. maisie will be having xrays and another urine sample taken. if she has sludge then they will flush her bladder. anything else and we have to discuss a treatment plan. she's also having her cysts checked on xray and she will most likely be starting hormone treatment for those. and her arthritis ankle will be looked at on xray aswell to see if she needs to go on metacam for it now, aswell as having physio. she's also dropped back to her lowest weight again.
bisc is on the verge of needing a dental, which we know from experience means that he will be hiding more spurs out of sight. he's still eating but not as much as normal. he's actually gained weight but that is because i have been letting him have extra profibre pellets to make up for the reduced hay he's been having. luckily he's well and still doing sprints and binkies, but obviously he will just get worse so best to get the dental done sooner.
eta: oh, and eddie piggy squealed like a girl when the vet got him out he's never done that before! :shock: and eddie is way too fat now. probably because maisie is losing weight. but he's a beast! :shock:
