A Trip To The Vet

 Wassup Dad

There’s a look Shy gets on her fuzzy face when she feels like I’m up to something that she doesn’t approve of . I got that look this morning when we arrived at the new vet . Rewind a bit here , As I pulled the ole Shy wagon off the country back road (one that we use quite regularly to access  adventuring grounds )  She got a bit curious. Her ears perked up as she stuck her head out the passenger side window . She started sniffin the air then she did a big” fuzzy butt ” pirouette on the seat which gave me a hairy tail in the face . I navigated around the mud puddles in the dirt driveway then pulled up to the derelict looking clinic that set between horse barns and cattle corrals . I shut off the ole ford and looked over at shy who was now setting down facing me and giving me the ” your up to something ,and I’m not going to go gently into that good.. aaah  what ever ” I jumped out of the truck and told Shy ” I’ll be back” . She just shifted her eyes from the building to me . this look always cracks me up while watching her eyebrows shift up and down . Well we were early so we sat in the truck . This gave Shy plenty of time to sniff the fresh scent of horse apples that permeated the air. it also gave her time to  formulate a plan of “sniff n avoid ” I talked her out of the truck so I could walk a pee out of her before we went in ( didn’t want her squirtin the new vet ) . After the pee I turned shy towards the door of the clinic and she went right in like she owned the place . The old sayin “never judge a book by it’s cover” sure applied to this place . it had a vary comfy feel to it , dark trimed doors with light brown walls . I said to shy ” this don’t look so bad girl ” she just looked around and headed to the examination room where she stood looking back out the door scanning for signs of  intruding Vets              While waiting for Mr. Rubber gloves to make his appearance , we noticed a very large woman who came in . This is the type of girl that looked as if she could bulldog cows better than most cowboys . She stood quietly in a big pink shirt . She was staring at Shy and wouldn’t look away , finally I said you want to pet our girl huh ? she cracked a smile and nodded a yes . I told Shy “she wants a pet ” Shy dragged me over to the woman and got her lovin

.               Time for the Doc , We got Our girl over on her back after a few “jiu–jitsu” moves . the Doc checked out the blistery rash that covered her belly . The plan now was to take a biopsy . So in came the drugs , one minute I was petting Shy’s head as she lye on the floor ( on the floor cause she’s too big to put on the table ) and then the next her head started to droop and her eyes started to sag , her breathing slowed .. I mean way slow .. so slow I thought she’d died ! I started to freak lifting her head and looking into her eyes … Gad dangit ! I thought get back in here doc you od’d her .. I cupped my hand over her nose .. no breath .. aaah dammit  ! I thought .. then she rolled one eye toward me and puffed out air .. Whoow  ..  I said you alright Shy ? she stood up wobbling her licker was hanging out like the floor was tempting it with tasty treats . As she laid back down her tongue stuck to the floor   The biopsy went good .  I sat on the floor holding her head while the Doc punched a pencil sized whole in her Ouchy .      Now for “Q n A” Doc , what will this test tell us ?  will it tell us if  it’s autoimmune disorder ?  Yes , this is the best thing to do so we’re not guessing , we should know in 2 weeks . The scraping I just looked at under the scope shows Fungus spores and Bacteria . I’m putting her on “Fluconazole and Cephalexin ” .. aaah ok I said what’s that ? .. The “Fluconazole” is for fungus skin infections , and the “Cephalexin” is antibiotics for the infection . Ok ! ..like I knew that … Stitching up her hole we hear a .. Arrrp ..Arrrp. aaarp aaarp !  Shy’s head wobbles up … she ties to get up I calm her and put her head back down . I say to the Doc ” that dogs missing it’s owner ”  no that dog just got  neutered and is waking up .. dang I’d be hollering to if I woke up with missing jewels ! .. not to worry he is on pain killers .. give me a minute I’ll get mike ( a monster of a farmhand ) to help you carry that girl out . I could wake her up with a shot but better she sleeps it off . Waiting for mike I think ” better open some doors so we can carry the fuzzy girl out”  I leave the room , get to the front door and look back and shy’s on her feet wobbling like hillbilly at a shindig . I open the door to the Shy wagon she wobbles up to it  .. I’m thinking “she’s going to pile it up on the door jamb” so I get ready hoping not to drop a gut if I have to catch her . She jumps in then does a hard lean on the seat then turns around and lays down . I make my way back in the office there stands an old guy who says ” that looks just like the kind of dog we have “.. oh ya ? you got a great pyr ? .. a what ? .. a great Pyrenees ! .. yah.. yah looks just like yours .. good … where do live ? cause I haven’t seen another Pyr in town ! … Sigurd … I’ll have to come see your dog , does he have double dewclaws too .. what are those ? … hold on ! got cough up 175 bucks .. ok come here see these claws here on the back legs ? ..Oh wow ! i’ll have to check mine when I get home .. ok have a nice day I say … Thinking to my self  how can one not know their dog ? .. Ready to go home shy ? lets go . we get home I open the door shy sets up and looks at me cross-eyed with her tongue hanging out . Help me dad I can’t stand . I pull her up then help her out of the truck ready  to catch her if she falls but she does fine.                                                                                    

                          We get in the house , shy goes to her food dish . She starts eating . I’m  trying to see if she’s chewing on her tongue ..nope tongues working fine but those are some big ole slobber sickle shy ! .. she keeps chompin . After trailing slobber around the bedroom she gives into the wobbles and lays down .         And Then
