Last week, we decided to take Phoebe to the vet because she'd had a spot under her left chin that had been irritated and she started scratching it so it swelled up. DW called several vet offices in the area and was told they were basically booked through September! She managed to find one that had an opening at 6:00 p.m., 1 hour from when she called.
So we grabbed her little muzzle and went to the vet. They were so awesome with her and with us. And she didn't bite anyone even after receiving 3 shots! We've found our new vet!
Turns out the vet moved here from Florida and currently owns an unoccupied house about 2 blocks away from us!
Phoebe got her medicine and we decided instead of a cone to prevent scratching, we would buy her a ring for around her neck to keep her from scratching.
Have you ever seen anything more pathetic!!
She's doing much better and the medicine is working well.
Soon she'll be back to her ornery self!

Poor Phoebe! I must admit that is a pathetic picture she took! But you must look at the upside of this....knowing that she is ok and seeing her in the blue thing gives a good tesday morning chuckle! Glad to hear she is ok!
good grief! Phoebe, Phoebe, Phoebe... she'll heal soon, I'm sure but gosh - glad to hear that you found a vet that you like! It is very comforting to know that someone is close by that can help you in those panicked times. I imagine you'll be looking for a general physician for yourselves soon enough. And a dentist!
I think the little blue donut is a lot better than a huge plastic collar, not to mention it's kinda cute. When Kirby had surgery last fall, the vet put a collar on him and he kept misjudging distances and running into doorways. :)

Andi - only you would have a dog with a blue collar that would look so cute and pathetic!! So nice to hear how happy you two are, but it seems odd that you are so far away. Molly & I liked what little we saw of AZ - the sunset over the mountains at Ft Huachuca and Sierra Vista was awesome-however, Christopher still thinks Sierra Vista is a pit! Could it have anything to do with Army life??? He's thrilled for you too and understands the beauty of the desert, I think? Take care you two and know that you are loved!! Your favorite Aunt!!!
