(Claire & Chance at puppy school, Jan. 2011)This morning I followed up on the ChipIn. Though folks have contributed, it's still reading $0 because my PayPal account is not verified and thus not linked up to the ChipIn. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be waiting a couple of days to verify the PayPal account--right now, the ball's in their court. The good news is that once that step is complete, the transfer of funds is easy.
I picked up Claire's MRI films and records from Dr. Gorgi today before picking up Claire and heading to yet another new vet--we met Dr. Jackie Grey at Limehouse Vet in Toluca Lake this afternoon, and Claire had her first ever acupuncture treatment. She was quite excited to be out of the house after being trapped in her boring crate for the last several weeks! Though she seemed to like Dr. Grey just fine, she definitely didn't like the needles being stuck in her back. The idea with the acupuncture was to have the needles in for about fifteen minutes. The vet had to take her out of the room to the back once the needles were in because she was so wiggly around me that the needles were falling out. We sat around the waiting room for quite a while after the appointment too waiting for medications and an insurance claim form. It was nice to get a feel for the vet by watching other clients come and go, and Claire got a bit more adjusted to the noises, sites, and smells.
I was so nervous about the appointment that it didn't occur to me to bring a camera and take a photo. We have our second treatment this Thursday, so I'll take one then. I had no idea what the needles would look like, where they would be placed on an animal, or how many of them there would be. I'm sure there are other people who wouldn't know what to expect either, so I'll try to show it.
Dr. Grey specializes in homeopathic medicine, and she put Claire on two new meds: an antioxidant enzyme pill called Dismuzyme and an anti-inflammatory liquid called Traumeel. I feel like I have at least five things to research each day of this process; tonight I'm looking up the meds.
After taking Claire home from the vet, I took a collection jar to our favorite neighborhood pet store, Pet Haven in Burbank. Chance and Claire go there monthly for non-anesthetic dental cleaning, and we order our pet food through them. They're generously doing what they can for Claire.
Oh, and my homework tonight is filling out insurance claim forms for all that's happened this month....that will pretty much vacate the cap on the category.
