Awwww he is cute! Yeah, it's a very treatable disease, and normally something you see in older pets. I've only ever seen one dog be too far gone from it...but the owner didn't bring him in for a week....ugh.
It's sad that more vets aren't like that.....or at least their office staff isn't. I had to box the ears of one gal under me (I was head tech) because it was 6pm (closing time) and she sent someone to the E-clinic..... I looked at her and said "Congratulations...you just told them the the health of their pet doesn't mean *BEEP* to us....think they'll ever be back??" Then she had to hear it from my boss as well.....except he wasn't as nice about it. I love my old boss...and will continue to use him as my vet until the day he retires probably. He has a really good understanding of me and what I will and wont allow with my animals. It took me a long time to find a vet like him...and he costs more then a lot of places....but he's worth every penny!
