No :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: needed, just a bordatella for Austin so he can get his hair cut at the groomers, and Grrrrrrrrrrrrrt is getting her blood drawn so she can get her doxycycline perscription refilled.
Personally, I find it quite humorous that my dachshund is on a drug called doxycycline. It's a cancer drug that thins the blood and she's been on it almost 3 years now. It's still a mystery as to what would cause the high red blood cell count, but she's lasted a lot longer than the first 2 vets I took her to said.

I believe today's vet visit will be cause to stop at Sonic for some Cheese Sticks.

Feel free to send :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: to my checking account :rotfl:

Oh, yeah, lots of checking account rayz. :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: My vet is kind of expensive, but very good. One day there was a vet receipt laying on the counter in the kitchen and the DH said "I don't suppose I want to know how much it costs a month for this herd?". I just said "No, you don't"! As you can tell I handle all the finances! As Lisa said they're "worth every penny". :hearts:

I feel your pain except I need some American Express :rayz: :rayz: :rayz: !! Napoleon was on doxycycline for 8 weeks to knock out his ehrlichia...and yes it is a little funny! At least it is relatively cheap. and yes I've spent thousands on Napoleon and would spend thousands more in a heartbeat for him!!

I had a major :dunce: moment. It's not doxycycline, it's hydroxyurea, but it's still funny that my doxie needs hydroxyurea.

We had a little bit of a :eek: moment. The vet opened Grrrrrrt's mouth and discovered a tooth ready to fall out! She said she could just pull it right out and I asked if I could keep it for the doggie tooth fairy. Now she has a little hillbilly gap just like Otto! Can't get her to pose, but I can show you her tooth!
