Re: Lainey is poorly


Hope you does her thing for the vet tomorrow Tink... it can be a real pain when you take them and they just sit there as if to say..."nothing wrong here"...

Re: Lainey is poorly


Update-it's not serious!
Lainey has an irritated trachea and swollen lymph nodes from seasonal allergies.
The doc listened long and hard to her heart and lungs and all is clear. No fever and she hasn't lost any weight either. Since I'm gonna be there again on Thursday for Baby Bear and Annie's appointment, he said to watch her in the interim and if symptoms persist he'll prescribe an anti-inflammatory for her but for now it seems to be going away on it's own.
I was really impressed as this is not her normal doctor. Lainey decided she did not like him pressing on her throat so she nipped quicker than lightning and next thing you know blood is trickling down his hand. I apologized profusely and he laughed it off and just stepped out for a band aid so he wouldn't bleed on her, LOL. Then he proceeded to tell her how cute she was. He went to take her temperature and was like "Oh, wow I haven't seen a ferret that wasn't descented till now" hahaha...So now I know for a fact that if Dr. Monroe is out again I am comfortable with him so that is reassuring..I really do love that office.
My poor OH had to get up early to drive me and was really cranky and had an "I told you so" look on his face when we left. Yes, I'm a paranoid ferrent. Maybe I'll cook him a nice dinner tonight to make up for it.

Re: Lainey is poorly


Delighted that it wasn't serious, Tink. I can imagine the smug look on K's face...hope you do fix him a lovely dinner! I didn't know that ferrets got seasonal allergies...but I didn't know cats did either until I had one who did.

And it's cool that the other vet is excellent and one you're equally comfortable with.
