You don't have to say it
I already know. You missed me. It's OK, I missed you too.I am officially back from my "vacation" to West Palm Beach, FL. It was lovely and oh so much better than being snowed on for the who knows what number time. All I have to say is, hooray tan lines!!!
I didn't get to see too much of the place as I spent a very large part of my days on the lacrosse field, and at night there was NO ONE to go out with. The youngest person there, besides me, was 31 and acted about 50. By that I mean she would sleep in until just before we had to leave, take a nap in the middle of the day when possible, and was in bed before I was. And as you all know, without proper authority or under dire circumstance, you not call my house after 10 pm. Sometimes if you call after 930 you're going to be waking me up.
Anyway, so I had told myself that I wasn't going to get into the trip until I had time to detail the entire adventure (yes, it is going to be a million miles long and rival my new-best-never-met friend Laura's posts, but I can't think of a better way to do it so you're just going to have to wait ok?) so, I am going to stop here.
I will let you know that I have recently gotten back from taking Cammi to the vet's and I'm concerned. First, the bill was something like $150. She has 5 different medications and a topical spray, plus she got an injection while we were there. And second, after being home for a little under 90 minutes she's thrown up twice (which was not happening before I took her) and still seems to be feeling bad.
About a week or so before I left I noticed she was getting just the tiniest bit pink and a little raw on her belly. Well, I didn't think it was too much of a big deal and may go away. Before I left I did give my parents her insurance information (yes, I carry health care for my dog) in case it got worse. When I got home Saturday it was way worse. It was all red and inflamed. Needless to say I was a little unhappy that it had gotten that bad without her taking a trip to the doctor, but what could I do at that point? I just made an appointment for her as soon as the offices were open today and made sure we kept it. He's not sure what caused it, but he put her on an antibiotic, some sort of anti inflammatory, and also a mild steroid. I'm not sure what the other stuff is except that one of them is her regular heart worm medication.
After she got sick I made sure there weren't any obvious pills in it (there weren't) then called the doctor to see what I needed to do. Like, should I give her more? Stop giving them? Did she need to come back in? etc... He thinks it's probably from the stress of the visit and wants me to just wait and try again in the morning. SO, I will be going into work late to make sure she reacts better. If not, we're going right in.
Ok, so that's the deal for now. I will let you all know what happens tomorrow when I can. I just hope she gets better soon.
