It was $80 to walk in the door -- which is probably cheap compared to other areas, though!Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-40599096101897681102014-01-15T15:58:36.568-08:002014-01-15T15:58:36.568-08:00That was a good catch on your part, and great timi...That was a good catch on your part, and great timing just getting into your vet before the super expensive emergency vet trip kicked in. I havent dealt with Lyme before but it sounds nasty. Another reason to be glad we dont see any ticks around here. Glad she seems to be on the mend!Greg Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275468835940333887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-34408865542612569312014-01-15T06:53:42.789-08:002014-01-15T06:53:42.789-08:00Kizzy got Tramadol after her spay and my immediate...Kizzy got Tramadol after her spay and my immediate reaction was, "No, can we have something different?" My only experience with Tramadol is with the shelter cats -- and let me tell you, if your vet ever tries to give you Tramadol for one of your cats, say NO. It is the most horrible experience on the planet. It's super bitter and the cats just hate it. If it get stuck on their tongue at all you get an instant frothing, foaming mess. Thankfully it's much less traumatic for the dogs because I encase it in canned food -- although a small bit of one of the pills must have poked out yesterday because Kizzy did make a bitter face on me. lol Nasty stuff.<br /><br />Treating with no symptoms is a tough decision. Because even if you treat, it can still live in their body and you could deal with a flare up at a later date. That's why we figure it makes more sense to wait until you see symptoms. Truthfully, the best thing to do would probably be to send in the $80 titer test to see just how much of it is in her blood and make a decision to treat based on that. But when you figure that's half the price of treatment, then you start to think, "Why don't I just treat?" It's a guessing game.Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605123382073277736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310719118042948190.post-37709913256870121902014-01-15T06:42:20.854-08:002014-01-15T06:42:20.854-08:00Do you need to treat Secret even without a flare u...Do you need to treat Secret even without a flare up? <br />Tramadol huh? I hate that stuff. HATE it. It does horrible things to me. <br />I'm so glad Kizzy is better! I can't imagine, having met her and seen her exuberant personality, how hard it is to see her like she was.
