Today was the biggest day for testing for paris, the vet just called
and said he thought all of the paper work was in order. Today she had
her skin test, hip xrays, Thyroid test. Monday she has her CERF in
Indy, and she had her vWB last month. I'm so brain rattled today I
can't remember if they did the Neonatal Encephalopathy or not.
The only thing that hasn't been done is the Cardio test.
Total Cost for all of the testing: $900 (including a pedicure and
teeth cleaning today)
Am I forgetting anything?? I want to make sure I do this all right.
I found this really interesting. My vet told me that he has never
done complete testing for a dog before! This clinic is the biggest,
most advanced in my area, with 4 vets and three locations. He said
no one around here breeds dogs! I also live in a wealthy community.
He also said he doesn't have one single Standard Poodle as a patient.
Maybe this explains why this town has brushed us off as a pet therapy
team. I have to push hard for every visit we do. Is Everyone afraid
of liability, or just too involved with their own lives?
Do I live in the twilight zone?

There are a lot of standard poodles here -- more standards than minis and toys, I think. At least that is what we see out and about.
