My little Gabby visited the vet last Saturday. She was suffering from pain on her right leg. So, we made a trip to the vet nearby with her being all uneasy in the car to check what was wrong with her.
Reached the vet, she got all excited when she saw other doggies there. It was a challenge to calm her down. Finally after some treats, she sat down quietly and waited for her turn.
It was a relieve for me.
Before going into the room, we took her weight. Oh my, 33kg! The nurses commented that she is "fat". Yup, just like the owner : P
Waiting anxiously
It was a very tough time in the room. Gabby was so afraid of the doctor that she had her tail in between her hind legs. There were a few tasks for the doctor after identifying that Gabby had an in-grown nail. The doc had to first clean Gabby's ears, then vaccinate her with a jab at the butt. And lastly, was to cut off the in-grown nail. Gabby was terrified! She cried.
Some of her flesh was cut off as it was too near the in-grown nail area. So, she ended up bleeding slightly; drops of blood were on the floor. (Poor nurse had to mop the floor) We asked the doc to give her a bandage; preventing the blood from dripping all around. After all the hoo - haa, Gabby was feeling better. I paid up and left. Phew!
Gabby was feeling a little stone when she got back. Probably because of the pain. She didn't have much appetite and slept through the afternoon.
