Meowllo evewypawdy. Can you believe it weez alweady half way fwu this week. Mommy sez weez gunna get sum visitin’ dun today. We do hav a pointment wiff yet anudder new case manager. Da last one got fired fur sleepin’ on da job. hers fell asleep here duwin’ hers last visit wiff us. She had asked moommy a question and while mommy wuz answerin’ she just fell asleep. So mommyh wuz assigned anudder new case manager and she’s posed to come out and meet wiff mommy tomowwo. Da pointment wuz schedulled 2 weeks ago and she’s not called since then or even weconfurmed da pointment so mommy sez shez will be supwised ifin da lady shows up. But hey, anyfin’s pawssible, wight?
Well hope yous all wead sis Lexi’s account of da “new” vet visit yesfurday. Weez waited and OMC mommy got madder than a wet hen. Not know why a hen gets mad when wet, but mommy wusn’t even wet and hers wuz sum kinda angwy. Mommy sez dat ifin those tests hadn’t been so purrtant and weez kulda found anudder VET to do da blood work she wuldn’t put upp wiff any of it. She’s mad at hers sellff fur makin’ sissy go fwu dat specially since weez bein’ tweated like dirt by da overpurriced VET. She opened a email fwum da VET’s office dat shulda contained all da test wesults. Stead, here’s what it sed:
We have reviewed the lab report and urinalysis for Alexandra. All are consistent with kidney disease, and not likely due to an infection. Dr Dunn recommends continue all current therapy, and suggests Hills Science Diet Prescription K/D. We have this available at our clinic. Keep track of appetite. Alexandra could have an increase in BUN/creatinine levels at any time. Please do not hesitate to call the clinic and schedule an exam if Alexandra’s condition changes. Return to the clinic in 1 month for bloodwork. You may call 226-1818 to get this scheduled. Alexandra may also have her blood pressure checked at this time.
Thank you
Yep dat’s a copy and paste. No fone call fwum da VET as wuz purrawmissed and no test wesults of any kind. Just those foo lines, dat in ow email wuz a total of 6 lines. So mommy called da office and OMC dat didn’t turn out well eevew. Finally da VET called and sed they kuldn’t email da test wesults cuz their scanner wusn’t connected to da internet. Yous all know how unsmawt we awe ‘bout all this tech stuffs. Well even we know dat’s nuffin’ but an excuse. So da doctow tells mommy they will snail mail her a hawd copy and send them out tomowwo. (which at this point is today). All da VET kuld talk ‘bout wuz Lexi comin’ back in fur a wepeat of tests and dat blood purressure check. Gotta tell ya’ weez just got chawged and paid $160.00 fur sumfin’ we haven’t even seen yet. Weez not be in any hurry to put sis Lexi fwu all that again wiffout seein’ sumfin’ to show fur dat munny. VET’s wound here ain’t hurtiin’ fur business so they pawently don’t hav to tweat their patients wiff any kind of wespect or kindness. Quite fwankly ifin sissy wusn’t actually sick not sure we wuld see a VET fur a while mommy’s so fed upp wiff ‘em. Anyways, all dat too say weez still weally got nuffin’ to tell ya. Once we get da wesults weez’ll let ya’ know. Sumtimes no news isn’t good news, it’s just No News.
Now onto sumfin’ ‘bout me. Me wuz hangin’ out on da top of oow twee yesfurday and weally enjoyin’ da sunshine. It wuz actually warm enuff dat da a/c kept comin’ on. Anyways, me was loungin’ when me heard a buzz. And then sumfin’ flew by me. It wuz goin’ fast. me jumped up and down da twee me came. Me wuz gunna get it. Mommy kep sayin’ she sure hoped it wusn’t a wasp. You know she be dat deadly lergic to those and no epi pen in da house. Guess what? Dat’s zactly what it wuz. Me chased him into da curtains and mommy captured him wiff a empty coffee can. Now me knows why she saves all those cans. But mommy kuldn’t hav caught him ifin me hadn’t skeered him into da curains. Me purrtected mommy and kep her safe. She wuz so purroud of me. She told me so. Mommy not be as gentle natured as Fozziemum is wiff fings dat can kill her, so weez not hav any fotos. Mommy smuddered himand squished him. So hims didn’t show up in da foto. MOL Anyways,
Till da next time……………………………….Be Blest!!!

Egads, a wasp:(
We sometimes get those pests in our den too…and dog-guy tries to snap at them…not a good idea…
You did a great job helping your Mommy to catch it…and…um…well, you know. We watch our meowmy do things like that too. Those naughty things once went up the shirt of unfur-the-elder and stung him 3 times in his armpit the poor lad, he was about 3…and he still freaks out when he sees them, he is now 24. Once he got a sting on his finger just befur doing a piano recital, OMC:((
At least no-one here is allergic…to stings that is…
Meowmy here:
I think you are being treated with a lot of disrespect, and maybe you should write a letter to the better business bureau. They pay attention to things like that. Even if Lexi is not well, there is not any reason to put her through things in that gruff and ill mannered way.
Sending out purrs and hugs by the truckload. And pawyers too:)

Good job Dezi!!! I don’t like wasps!
My vet never mails me test results…he just calls me……….if I wanted them he would print them out but they keep everything in their computer so I don’t worry about it.
He just calls with results and tells me what I should do. Often that means I have to come back in, that’s just the way it goes. Just like a regular doctor. If they are rude or mean, that’s different. Sorry your experience wasn’t a good one and I pray that Lexi’s condition can be managed. Frankly, I am more bothered by their pushing food that they sell there than the test results. xoxo

Oh my…I wouldn’t go back for quite some time…provided Lexi is doing ok. What a weirdo that office sounds like. Well, you certainly took care of that wasp Desi and mom. My mom is not gentle but she usually traps and lets whatever it is go out the front door….alive. Sounds like your mom is taking no chances he’ll come back.

Hello Dezi & Lexi & Mom: I am outraged by this total lack of respect you have received. They could have scanned the test results or taken a photo & uploaded to their PC & sent it to you. This is bologna! I ALWAYS received test results for Mingflower & Nylablue…always!
I say do not take Lexi back if this is the treatment you are getting. Unbelievable. I am hoping Lexi is stable. She looks good in her pix so fingers crossed.
Please know we are ‘here’ for all of you.

That is just terrible how they made you wait like that at the vet — we would have been madder than a wet hen, too! And THEN, to email you a cut and paste job??? Terrible! We are so sorry they treated you so poorly. Maybe there is a better vet somewhere near you?
Good job protecting Mommy, Dezi! You’re a hero! 🙂
And we are purring and praying real hard that Lexi’s condition can be managed.
