Well actually since I wrote this story yesterday… the vet wants to put him on another week long antibiotic. I thought he was given a clean bill of health.. but I guess I was wrong. Today is may 25th I believe… this is not cool. I thought all the worrying was over.
Now that I am practically disabled and can barely safely drive due to my dizziness and spinning head and strange headaches we are actually in a situation which I have greatly feared for a long time. It’s quite difficult to get you medical care. and since we have noone to help, nearly impossible to get me medical care. (However I did manage to drive myself to the emergency room not to long ago because I couldn’t take the pain anymore. Of course they did nothing for me except take a CAT SCAN which showed my headaches were not the results of sinuses which I had thought for years. . They then told me to see a neurologist and let me go. Then my new sinus doctor told me he could no longer help me… Awesome…) I did what I could at this point.
Anyway back to the vet I knew even if I killed us both trying to get you there. it absolutely had to be done.
The fiasco of the “emergency vet” “which was pointless much like my emergency room trip” and finally your new vet Kissimmee animal hospital has been quite ridiculous.
The so called “emergency vet” ( inside a petsmart) (enough said) was a complete disaster. On the first visit this incompant woman diagnosed you with an upper respiratory infection. You were then given the incorrect antibiotics for a week. So, I had to take you back for a second visit. I was then told I had to pay 1200 dollars! Yes 1200 for a X-ray. When the xray came back the woman said that you had asthma and gave me some very strong steriods to put you on.
Again, possibly you could have a touch of it, but as soon as I gave you a dose of steriods you began to sneeze. I tried to call them back and ask if this was normal. They never answered the phone. Your new vet told me that if the steriods were going to work they should have worked immediately. So you had more unnecessary medicine and I had more unnecessary expenses.
Obviously when you weren’t any better, I had no choice but to take you somewhere else. So, having to drive you there when I was dizzy and seeing odd flashing lights I could have killed us both. The new doctor (surprise) surprise read your Xray and said it didn’t look like you had asthma at all. (So everything at the other place was basically a waste of time and money) as well as you being on unsessary medicine twice.
The new doctor gave you an antibiotic shot . And then even though I saw the flashing lights and I was dizzy I took you back for a follow up. (Actually the truth is I almost fainted in the office) I was quite terrified….
This is what is happening lately. which makes me completely disabled. But luckily the doctor gave you a clean bill of health.
Even though you still seem to be whezzing a bit, most likely you are okay. Because without you, with my chronic suffering, (that I try for help) three times at the er for two different reasons) A new sinus doctor, now I would need a primary care doctor appointment and then a referral to a neurologist and then some type of pelvic floor dysfunction specialist) (also i have tried pelvic floor therapy but i was doing no good so it was discontinued) i have had stomach mris, cat scans, chest xrays as well as a few months of pelvic floor therapy) its all completely overwhelming) and no doctors so far have been able to find a solution anyway) if only i had one person who could drive me there)
Again without you and my chronic suffering I would have absolutely no reason to be here.
