    Chronic URI

    She said a culture wasn't done. The chin is on azithromycin currently which she isn't to thrilled about but it was what was given. When you say long term is there a specific AB you would recommend for that? She doesn't want the chin on azithromycin again. Sorry for not combining posts...

    Chronic URI

    I will find out. I know Meg is waiting to hear back from the vet on what the further tests he wanted done were. The owner didn't get them all done. How do they get a culture of it? I am curious... Anyway if that is not a test he wants done I will tell her to ask about it. She is currently on a...

    Can't pay vet bill shouldn't have pet?

    We didn't have any signs posted like that nor did she ever attempt to keep an animal. Perhaps it was just her office. Regardless I would try anything to get them help. I am not a rich person and can't afford 400-500 on the spot but if it was needed I would come up with it or do what I had to...

    Can't pay vet bill shouldn't have pet?

    I used to work as a tech and I'll say this, my vet told me that by law she HAS to see and treat an animal if they come in claiming its an emergency whether they have the money on hand or not or she can be sued if anything happens to it and she did nothing. Then they really have no choice but to...

    Smelly Pee!

I also saw before pictures when she took them in and their is a huge difference. I understand the smell of a scared...

    Smelly Pee!

    So I know any urine will smell but my two new chins have some very smelly pee!! The one pee'd on himself during the trip home so he's been getting lots of dust baths but I can't help but smell it and when I go by their cage it smells almost fishy!!! What gives!?!?!? They are not enlarged down...
