I know you're thinking, "what's the big deal"? He's 13 and keeps having more and more issues. This morning they drew blood and have found that one of his LFTs (liver enzyme) is elevated. In a coupl...

I don't know about you and your relationship with your vets...but I don't get a warm feeling with ours. Our vets in MT, WY, and Germany (he was German), treated us like we were the most important patient. I like that. These vets, not so much.
My husband said to her something like... "so he'll be all better and his normal self". Her response was "in what manner?" She said he's old and he's showing it. WHAT THE ...?!! You get the gist.
As far as his elevated enzyme, she mentioned Cushing's. Hmmm.
Anyway, the baby's home, a bit worse for wear. She gave him Previcox for pain. Anyone have experience with this med? His excision is larger than I expected, but she thinks it's benign (she didn't send it for testing). Is that normal? I'm a surgical tech (people) and everything is sent to pathology. I keep thinking things in human terms. But, he IS almost, isn't he?
Thanks for listening.
