Thanks guys
It couldn't have gone better. My cunning plan worked, I went in with both, handed Georgie to the receptionist and Zena couldn't wait to get back out of that door and into the car
(oh I know that dog so well!). Georgie was whingeing whilst I was gone coz he has SA (yes, the one dog that doesn't show me any affection has the SA and the one who adores me doesn't!)
I kept an eye on her whilst I sat there for 10 mins and she just sat looking out the window staring at the door, no stress, no panting, just a fixed gaze on that vet door! That's a result for me coz that's a first for her being left in the car alone, especially when I had taken Georgie off somewhere.
Anyhoo, the lovely vet who saw him before, said we are now going to try a different route with these ab's, in that he is giving me another week's supply, then we will try going one week without, then stretch it to two, and so on and so on, until he's on about one week every 6 which he hopes will work to keep this wretched mange at bay. There is no other way out for this old boy coz it's the cushings he has that is causing it all
I've got to go back and see him at the end of this current 2 week course, and he's not going to charge me, coz I said at £50 a week for ab's it's getting a tad expensive, so he's going to give me a reduction on that price and not charge me for my visiits and you can't get better than than, but then he IS the (semi-retired) boss of this hospital lol!
All is well, and the sun is shining, so I'll be taking them both out for a lovely, long slow amble across the south downs, life is great!
