Doctor Evil

Our dog, Sasquatch (the little petite cute thing), is peeing all over the floor in mass quantities after being in the house for only 3 hours at a time. This isn't a new condition. In fact, she's been to the vet three times for the exact same thing in the past year. This time, I took her to the vet where I've taken our other dog since his name was Squishy before Hubs and I were together.

Dr. Kappas is concerned about Sasquatch's kidneys. She thinks that the original diagnosis by the evil doctor (at the other vet place) was wrong; it's not her bladder, it's her kidneys. She took blood, got an x-ray and did a urinalysis. She's sending the blood to the lab at St. Pete's hospital. She warned that it might take some time to really figure out what this is. She seemed to really want to take the time to figure it out too. Something I suspect was NOT the case with the evil doctor.

Reminds me of some of the doctors that treat women the same way ... See them, collect money, send them away with an explanation that takes a little time, only a little effort and requires expensive medication that "solves" the problem for long enough until they come back to pay more and ask more questions. We've paid for THREE of the exact same tests to tell us the exact same thing every time and four rounds of medication along with numerous bags of EXPENSIVE prescription food; ONLY to have the symptoms come back every time. Not only is this frustrating and expensive, but Sasquatch has had to live with this potentially painful condition without treatment. Needless to say, we will NEVER go back to the evil doctor.

I hope this time we'll get some real answers and Sasquatch can get some real treatment.
