Man, right as I was pressing the 'Submit Reply' button, Banfield called me. But, not the Denton Banfield (that we went to yesterday), I regular Banfield in Denton. We were told that she is due for a Comp exam and a Giardia vaccine. I told the nurse about our experience yesterday and we decided that we are going to go see Dr. Moore (our regular Doctor) to get a second opinion, while the Comp exam is in progress.
So, that gave me the idea to go ahead and call Dr. Zoltner (at Denton Banfield). He told me that he didn't know what the confusion was yesterday, but Asia is not "too young" to go to the Animal Diagnostic Clinic and they already have all of her information (XRays, EC/KG <-- which letter is it?). 'Dr. Pickens' is the one we will be seeing and she is out of her office today, so if she doesn't call by Thursday, I am advised to call Dr. Zoltner back.
The waiting period of this is hard, really hard. I wish we could go today and get in and see what's wrong and what we have to do about it, and get out of there and get her on medications! All in one day would be nice ... my worries might be a bit lessened ... but that would be too easy!
So, sometime within the next week, we will be seeing Dr. Pickens in Dallas for a suspected DCM in the sweetest Boxer ever. :(
Asia started whimpering just a second ago and it got me a little nervous but we figured it's because she wants to play, because soon after, she went and drug some toys out of her basket. Mark is playing with her at a much lower level than usual, but obviously that's not enough for her! Poor girl, she's probably so confused - they usually run around the house like two wild & crazy animals (yes, even Mark)!
Just keep those good vibes and prayers coming. I will probably be posting on here later again today to let you all know how she is doing! Again, thank you all so much for your concerns - ya'll are the best!
