The Year Ends

~Charlie~ 

Our week may be a short one, but it has been busy trying to get everything done so a couple days off can be enjoyed. Monday began with an issue in getting Gus's medication refilled when his "regular" vet was ill and out of the office.  The vet that was working that day didn't feel "comfortable" refilling them.  I didn't understand what the issue was, especially because it is an antibiotic that Gus has been taking for about 6 months now. I was told Gus would have to wait until today (Wednesday) to get the medication. Because I called on Friday (the 26th) when he ran out, not being able to get the refill until Wednesday meant Gus would be off the antibiotic for six days--Too long in my opinion because I feel that we walk a bit of a tight-rope with Gus and his health. I tried to explain all of that to the girls at the front desk, who are "new girls" to the practice, don't know me, or Gus, but none of what I said made a difference. They were simply following the "doctors orders" (as they should have). Me however, I was feeling a whole list of things in trying to explain why I *needed* to have the medication for Gus. Fortunately the holistic vet that sees Gus was able to prescribe the refill for him, and I'm extremely grateful to Dr. E for that. I've since spoken to Gus's "regular" vet about the mix-up, and we have both made adjustments in how Gus's medications will be refilled in the future to avoid this problem again.

Onward to Tuesday we went and it was all about Beau's visit to the dermatologist that went pretty well.

Today, Wednesday is about Cissy.  To keep this short, and get you back to celebrating the New Year, I'll update you on them in my next post.
