Yesterday afternoon we took Honey to the vet's to ger her nails clipped. I use to do it but since my vision has gotten so bad I can't tell wher the quick is and I do not want to hurt her....and hubby is scared to even try to trim her nails.
Lacy, the tech t clipped them, and checked her clean ears and lookedd at her teeth. Now when I had her in for her final liver check a few months ago Rickey told me I needed to think about a dental soon. But I always worry so much when any of my dogs have had to go under for dentals, surgery, etc, and besides Honey has horrible hallucinations when coming around. It is heartbreaking to see and hear her so tyerrified of whatever she sees. But Lacy said it appears Honey's very back loswer right tooh is cracked.
Problem,--hubby was suppose to leav eout last night on a run and goodness knows when he would get back. He had just returned form 4 weeks out. Lacy told me that when he was coming in or got in call and they would get Honey in for a dental no matter what it took to rescheduled.
Then last night his load canceled, so he was still here this morning. HOWEVER< he had fed her breakfast and when I called Rickey said he didn't like to do any kind of dental or surgery on a dog that had eaten unless it wa a dire emergency. BUT if we could bring her in any time today and leave her he would "take good care of her" and do the dental first thing in the morning and then someone would bring her home for me. I then talked more to Lacy and she said she gets off at 1:30 tomorrow and she and Christy would bring Honey home for me. They know I don't drive anymore.
What more could a person ask from a vet--no charge for clipping her nails keeping her over night to get the dental done in the morning, bringing her home, no extra charge for any of that, plus still get my senior discount. I couldn't ask for a better vet. or tgechs. They all love my Honey girl.
