Its horrible, and now im "creating" things that I think are wrong with him, you know stuff that he has most likely done since day one around here but I see it differently now.

Example:
"OMG, he is wobbly in his back end and he didnt even do anything".... Logic kicks in " Dumb @ss he has been laying in the most contorted position cuddling with you on the couch for the last hour... of course his legs are probably asleep"

"OMG, he is grunting, twitching and staring at me blankly, is it a seizure??"
Logic--- " He is wondering wtf you are staring at, take your eyes off him for a bit"

I hope to get some answers soon, before I create more issues.

youer mind plays funny tricks on you when you are waiting for answer I know I've done that also.... take a deep breath (but not so deep that you pass out for lack of oxigine) and tell yourself it's ok and keep very very bussy so you don't think about it. I know easier said than done. but if you keep this up you will make yourself sick and we don't want that and neither do you..

I really dont know, it depends on when the neurologist and cardiologist get back to my vet.
I know he has to go in for an EKG soon, but she wants to see what they think first, and they sorta need something to go off of ( well the cardiologist anyways)
You know how it can be with specialists sometimes, they want to make sure that they have a pretty good idea too before sending B in for a gozillion un neccissary tests.

It's already thursday,how long does it take to get testresults it must be really difficult to wait and wait..and yes,you are the best mommy to Bailey.
Had he been with his former owners who dumped him,we all know what would have happened to him,so Erykah was picked to be Baileys care-giver.

Okay.
Well I called the vet yesterday and demanded some news.
Apparently now...
They have ruled a few things out ( I didnt ask what) and they want him in for Thursday morning for his EKG and some chest xrays. Only problem is.... I cant get him there, they open at 7:30 and I start work at 7, the vet is atleast half an hour from work too so....
Im trying to get someone to take him for me.
I asked exactly how much this is all going to cost in the event I could not bring him, and I sent him and the money with someone.
I was floored by the price. IMO, its not nearly enough but like im going to suggest that they increase what they charge me.
Lets just say IM getting a few things for free, well Bailey is

Oh the reason that I didnt hear back from the origional vet... she is on maternity leave now so I understand how things may have been shuffled around on me.

It's always good when vet bills are a happy surprise! maybe they discounted because bailey is such a good doggie.

I hope his EKG and x-rays come out normal!

I hope you can find someone soon so you don't have to worry about it. How has Bailey been the past few days?

B has been fine the whole time. Thats the weirdest part of it all. As long as he doesnt run with Meiko ( he is fine with Nikita cause she does stop from time to time to breathe)
Nothing has happened since I "made" it happen a few weeks ago.
So stressfull, so strange...
Anyways Im still working hard to find someone to bring him in, I have 2 appts booked for him, this thursday and next thursday coming up ( just incase I cant get him there)
The vet worked it out this way for me, thankfully.
