| - Our oldest dog, Duncan, had a sudden acute case of "I don't feel good." He was all hunched over, could barely move that morning and yelped (not the royal "Yelped"--no opposable thumbs, right? I also cut off his internet access for his abuse of YouTube cat video privileges) when I gently touched his right side. A Breed Apart, who is our go-to doggy doctors, was able to get us in later that afternoon.
Our vet and her assistant promptly got us into an exam room at the appointed time and did their thing. Perhaps it was the adrenaline of being in the exam room with other barking dogs and animals nearby or the rectal thermometer, but perking up and feeling better amazingly ensued. (Duncan, that is. Although I did ease up when I reminded myself that the thermometer was likely not for me).
Some additional poking and prodding (of Duncan) and a couple prescriptions - - including a refill for another one of our pampered pooches - - and we were out the door.
We have always been very happy with ABA's doctors and staff. They always do a thorough and caring exam and give good information and advice. Also, I believe their fees and medication costs are very reasonable. For Duncan's exam and the three medications, the bill was less than $75. I wish we could take our kids there. But alas, the dogs are better behaved.
5 bones (stars) for ABA! Woof!
