Dr. B. and Dr. M. are fantastic. Yes you see me writing this at 5 am in the morning. Now upon reading my profile you might think that's normal. But I assure you a YELP review does not take place at 5 for me. Next to nothing takes place at 5 for me. Until today. When at 3:45 my dog started getting sick. Now keep in mind lab and retriever mixes are a special breed. They think lots of interesting things are food. Like banana peel, meat packaging or door knobs. Whatever. Thus they have stomach problems. Merely the nature of the beast. Pun intended.
Dr. B. and Dr. M. have trained me on what's dangerous and what's not. This morning, there was a possible danger sign. So thankfully I dial up their cell number (yeah that's right they have a 24 hour cell number for emergencies) and speak frantically to Dr. M. She goes over with me what else to look for. How serious it is. She knows I'm a full time grad student. And some day I'm going to have a job where I can feed them filet Mignon every night. Hell make that every night and every morning. But currently those are not my financial means. So a trip to emergency vet really will break me for literally the next 6 months. However, I will spend whatever I have to make Macy and Jackson better. But Dr. M. is able to advise what could be wrong, how this situation has one red flag and yes he needs to been seen today but that it can most likely wait 3 hours until they open. Then gives me a list of warning signs to look for and if I see any to get to one of the following emergency vets pronto.
So while I write this my kiddo is laying at my feet. So far none of the warning signs. Good news. We're down to two hours before we can go see them and they make Jackson feel better.
