Unless one of you is on-line right now, I'll probably have already made up
my mind but.......... Do you have any experience with the Colonial Vet Hospital - out by the Pyramid Mall? This is the 24 hour care place that my vet would send us to with Sassy. I don't know anything about it other than that. Thanks, Judy |

I don't know anything about it other than that. I think Chris uses it. It's very well-regarded, and other local vets refer patients there for stuff they can't do themselves. I have a friend who's taken her dog up there for several ACL surgeries, for example. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

I have a friend who's taken her dog up there for several ACL surgeries, for example. I've managed to reach a couple of friends in the area. They all speak very highly of it - but primarily their experience is orthopedic. I think I'm going to take that as enough of a recommendation. We're on our way to pick up Sassy at the vet and head for Ithaca. Thanks, Judy |

And they have a therapeutic swimming thingie, so when she's fully recovered she can have an afternoon at the spa. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

But I doubt they'll convince her that water is a good thing. I do feel better for having taken her there. They were starting some treatments overnight to settle her stomach. The good news is that she had thrown up all day at the other vet's. So they were going to wait to see if perhaps that particular medication wasn't necessary. Depending on how she did overnight, they may do an ultrasound at some point today. That will tell them if there is pancreatitis or an intestinal blockage. Or if she's on the mend this morning then we can assume that it was some sort of gastritis that has passed. Either way, she's almost certainly there for another night. But I am more encouraged after talking with the vet there. Judy |

I just wanted to say that I hope Sassy is okay, and I've been thinking good thoughts about her. I'm glad you found a good place for her to be overnight, if for no other reason than that that's what you seem to be more comfortable with. Even just a little extra peace of mind helps. -- Shelly http://www.cat-sidh.net (the Mother Ship) http://esther.cat-sidh.net (Letters to Esther) |
