I love love love my vet. After looking at the X-rays taken at the E-vet, Dr. L pointed out that Georgia has elbow dysplasia. Georgia was predisposed to dysplasia and hence arthritis because of her abnormal elbow angulation – whatever “elbow angulation” means. We will monitor her elbow dysplasia by taking X-rays every few months and if her elbow gets out of socket, she will need a surgery, for which case, I will have to prepare for since she won’t be able to or should not walk on that leg. Since Georgia has already been on all the joint supplements the vet recommends, the only other treatment we added is Adequan injections as needed.
The best part about the visit was that I finally had the chance to talk to Dr. L about her receptionists on how dreadfully difficult for me to talk to the vet over the phone or even leave a frigging message, the problem I had with Grizzley’s prescription renewal, the issue over dropping off Grizzley, and the issue I had when I took Foster in for his broken nail. I apologized for “complaining”, but she was all like, “No, no, no. Thank you. I want you to tell me. I have to deal with it. I’ll take care of it.” Then when I paid and came out and loaded Georgia in the car, a vet tech named Brian came out to talk to me, who informed me that Dr. L told him to talk to me and assure me that from now on if I call and have any trouble getting through, I can just ask for him, and he would relay the message!!! And if I have any other problems with receptionists, I should not hesistate. Did I mention I love my vet?
The new living arrangement is getting into some kinda routine. Not where I want to be yet. Foster, of course, being the royal pain in my big fat ass, keeps marking his territory! Not only that now he even started marking downstairs!!! Obviously I cannot be with him all the time to stop him when he does the deed, he keeps doing it. And when I find a little spot, he freezes in his tracks for a few seconds, lowers his head and tries to slink away! UGH! UGH! UGH!!!!!!!!

man, I am so glad to hear that the vet was willing to listen about what you’ve been dealing with. that will help since you are dealing with so much right now.
Yay for your vet!!
Sorry about Foster… we go through this all the time with the cats. It’s always someone, either Mattie because one is picking on her, Hercules because he itches to go outside, or Felix, just because he’s fat and getting old.
That’s great that your vet is so awesome!
Not so great that Foster keeps marking everything, ugh. Foster, quit peeing on stuff and quit driving yoon crazy!
Yay for Dr. L & Brian!
Did I tell you…Raiden peed on the ottoman the other day. RIGHT in front of me!!! Boys!
I’m sorry about the health problems Georgia’s having. It sounds like she’s in good hands though, because your vet sounds amazing.
I hear you on the marking thing. I think that Seamus is slowly improving, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking.
[...] well as far as I can see. We’ll get another X-ray taken in a couple of month to see if her elbow dysplasia is getting worse. I just found out she’s been sneaking in some pee on the rug I put down in [...]
