An expensive day

Indy went into the vet for her spay today. I dropped her off at 7:30, she was scheduled for 9am. Just got back home from dropping her off when I spotted blood drops on the floor. With 3 dogs milling round the kitchen it was hard to see where it was coming from. Finally realized Tyra had gashed her carpal pad. Rang the vet "weren't you just in?" and took her in. Vet ended up keeping her in for stitches - cost estimate was as much as Indy's spay! Hopefully the insurance will cover some of it.

CERF

CERF certificates arrived yesterday for Indy & Ivan. None for Tyra, of course, because of her pannus but still made sure it was recorded in the database.
Went to step class for the first time in ages. Glad it was only 45 minutes long. Plenty tired afterwards! Discovered Quizno's Honey bourbon Chicken sandwiches. Mmmm - and only 7g of fat they say. How can that be :-)
Indy went for vaccinations in the evening. Decided to book spay - vet was free on Monday! A little sad but think it's for the best.

A Busy Day

Started the day with a visit to the opthamologist for Tyra and Indy. Indy had her CERF exam. Everything fine. Just ppm iris-iris as before. Should get a number when I send in the form. Tyra's checkup went well. Cloudiness due to pannus has gone down in her right eye but it seems there might be some cholesterol build-up due to the prednisolone drops. Vet suggested cutting back to one drop per eye per day.
Dogs home, my turn for a visit to the dentist. Chipped a crown about 6 months ago and have been putting off replacement. Finally bit the bullet and had a 2 hr session removing the old one, and getting moulds made for a new one. Now have temporary crown until the proper one comes back in 2 wks time. Ugh.

Brr

Cold.
-22C this morning and the van nearly wouldn't start. Set to warm up next week - could get up to +14C !
Dropped Indy off at the vet clinic this morning. She's having her hips & elbows checked for OFA.
She should be ready for pickup soon. She'll likely be a bit groggy. Spoke with the vet-tech and she said all looked good. OFA get the final say as to the ratings. Don't know how long the results take to get back.
