Irish visits the Doctor today. It's a new one. Her first Doctor had moved away. And now, she's going to see a brand new one.


I informed the Doctor, what her previous one said she had, which was chronic renal disease. They took her temperature and another blood test. They said that they were going to check if there was any change. The Doctor said that they gave her first aid, by giving her antibiotics and multivitamins. They gave me two kinds of canned dog food to give to Irish. Suited for those with Urinary disease. And modex, a water soluble powder energy supplement. To be given every two hours, but not after she sleeps at night. They told us to wait later today, at 8 pm tonight, for the result of the exam. And will inform us, what treatment she should received.

I learned today was her temperature was too low. And she weight at 12 kilos. She was over 20 kilos when she was healthy. It was jarring how little she weigh compared to before. It really drove home the direness of her situation.

Afterwards. I talked about bringing her in for confinement. The whole trip caused us almost 55 usd. I asked the Vet if they take credit, and she said we'll talk about it after seeing the result. I had to take Irish home.
