Airlie's vet visit last Friday went fine. She was almost 6 weeks past due for her annual vaccines, so we had to go with the 1-year shots, rather than the 3-year ones. She didn't enjoy being there, but she never does. Still, she was good. She weighed in at 48.4 lbs. The staff was friendly, the facility
was clean, service was quick. Being that it's a community outreach, "low
cost" facility, it wasn't the same as visiting an actual vet clinic,
and I'd opted not to do the wellness exam, which was an additional $25,
so we didn't meet the actual vet, or establish any relationships, but
still... she's UTD on vaccines and her prescription for HW meds has
been mailed off. It still cost me $100 ($15 rabies, $19 DHPP, $19 Lepto, $15 prescription, $30 heartworm test, $2 "disposal fee"), which was a little bit more than back home (and I should have just had her done 6 weeks early, back in July before we moved, rather than waiting till we moved here and been as many weeks past due). I wish I had gone that route. If I had had the money, I'd have done the wellness
exam, just because there are a few questions that I have. Next time.
I thought she'd contracted flea tapeworm, from eating rabbit poop out in the yard (dang rabbits!), but I wormed her for that and... nothing. I'm still going to give her the remaining dose tomorrow, since I bought it and all...
