Stephanie and Sierra, you are both in my thoughts today and i'll be sending as many positive and calming }}}VIBES{{{ that I can muster!
Your new vet sounds wonderful and very understanding, I am sure that Sierra will know that you have chosen him for a reason and will find the experience a lot easier than you expect! Sierra is a very brave girl!
Sounds like you've got a gem of a vet there - the chances arer that because he's so relaxed and willing to take his time over Sierra, that she'll feel more relaxed with him - and having you present will help her no end. Good vibes coming your way!
Thank you guys so very much for your encouragement! You have just brightened our day more than I can express! You're so fantastic!
Waddle, Sierra is being treated for very high blood pressure and her right kidney is "abnormally small and irregularly shaped", putting too much stress on her left kidney causing symptoms of crf. Through diet regulation and lowering her blood pressure, her BUN and Creatinine have been back within normal limits. We are managing her elevated BP with daily Norvasc. She tends to become unbelievably stressed at the Vet, therefore it has been necessary in the past to sedate her in order to carry out any sort of exam.
I just wish I could help her understand this is all for her own good. I'm praying that today will be the exception and she will feel calm throughout her visit. Thank you so much for asking about my sweet baby!
GOOD LUCK TODAY Sweet Sierra!!! {{{{{}}}}} Stephanie, you are such a great mommy for being so careful about which vet takes care of your little girls.
I'm so sorry she'll need to be sedated to get through this
Awww Stephanie you know that you and Sierra have my very best wishes and good thoughts for a calm and pleasant Vet visit. I'm hoping that the new facility will be an environment where Sierra feels no stress.
It will be so much better for you to be there during the exam - Sierra will know that her mummy would only do what is best for her.
Make sure you come back as soon as you have been to let us know how well your sweet girl did
Well you have already headed to the vet.....so i just hope all is well with sierras health and stress levels.....please let us know how it went when you get back......
Aw Steph! I'm just seeing this now, but I'm crossing my fingers that Sierra will do much better at this vet! But I know because it's less of a drive and because he's already been so good with meeting your needs, it's all going to be okay! *hugs*
Sierra, I'm sending lots and lots of vibes and hugs and kisses to you and your mama. I know you're a big strong brave girl and you're gonna be fine-------just take care of your poor worried mama
