It's good to see you writing again! I'm also glad you've found a decent vet. We struggled to find one with our beagle Amstel, who had a whole host of congenital health issues. We made the mistake of taking him to the U of M's veterinary hospital for his seizures and all they wanted to do was pump him full of prescription drugs. We found another vet who suggested CBD oil and that almost cured the seizures. Very cute dog!
I have dedicated my body and the body of my dog to science. We're in the control group, the group that doesn't pump the body full of toxins to achieve health. How does that make any sense? What a load of crock. It's fascism I tell ya. Don't get me started.
Hazel passed the clinical exam with flying colors. Her dental health, especially, seemed to surprise the doctor. I enjoyed a trip to the vet! usually, I am disgruntled after a $500 hit and a tongue lashing.
It's very crazy how inept and corrupt the medical system has become. We even went to the Mayo clinic recently and it was a horrible experience.
I'm glad Hazel passed with flying colors! I'd say keep on doing what you're doing. Amstel surpassed all expectations on health and life span and I owe that to NOT listening to the vet's advice (most of the time).
It's gotten much harder to do that with any kind of doctor. They kick you out of their practices. How long has Amstel been gone now? Two years? I miss his singing.
He'll be gone two years in January. Hard to believe, I miss him every day. We're going to be making a move soon and then we'll consider getting another dog. I'm not sure if we'll get another beagle or a pit bull. It'd be a rescue either way. Time will tell!
