The kids dentals went well. It was my usual crazy sort of morning. First Tara came in from outside and had to go in the tub for a quick rinse, then I got my sheets and towels all spread out in my car, (was afraid someone would be sick on the long drive home), got the kids loaded and realized I had no idea where my car keys were. Took forever to find them and they weren't someplace I would normally put them.
When we arrived there was the vet, two assistants, (I have never seen her have two there at the same time before), and the lady in the office. The kids got a warm welcome. After we chatted and they greeted all the kids they took Breeze back to start her on her fluids, (I did have them run fluids on all the kids but B got extra), Shimmer went first and she came out to get me to show me he had a tooth he had broken off, it wasn't a problem she said, just wanted me to know he had it and where it was at.
The lady in the office spread a couple of comforters on the floor for my other kids to wait their turn on. After a bit the vet carried Shimmer out to me and I got on the floor on the comforter and put him on my lap. He was wrapped in a towel but started shivering so they brought me another towel for him. They kept B back there a while after her turn to run a few more fluids then I got her. While the vet was working on B one or the other of the assistants kept coming out and updating me on how she was doing, the oxygen flow and heart rate. It all stayed good through the proceedure! She had had some pain medication as well so she slept for a long time. When she came then they also brought a heating pad. Shim was still pretty out of it so I had B on my lap and him beside me. Later I had B on my lap and a sleeping dog on either side of me!
We think we may have found the source of B's ongoing infection. Her canine on the same side as the sinus infection was in bad shape on the inside where you couldn't really see it. She had to have 3 teeth pulled, but that isn't too bad for 16 years old.
That is how it went the rest of the day they kept bringing me sleeping dogs and I spent the day on the floor. I am getting too old for that!!!!!! We had the whole waiting room, ended up with two comforters, lots of towels and the heating pad. We arrived at 8:30 and left at 4:45, long day! The staff, my vet and a sales lady helped walk the kids before we loaded them in the car for the trip home. NO ONE GOT SICK!!!
B did have a rough weekend but is back to eating now. Took her in this past Saturday for a culture to see if we need to switch her antibiotic as she has been on them for so long and the infection isn't clearing up yet.
What a day and never a dull moment with the kids around!
