The topic: Update from this morning’s vet trip

----------------------------------------------

He doesn’t know how the tag was loosened on Sebastian’s leg, he told me that it’s only happened one other time.  And they called the memorial place, I should have a refund on the credit card by now.

Benny was a doll. Not a peep out of him on the way over. He’s gained an ounce from his last visit, which was years ago. The vet said he’s looking really good. He checked out Ben’s ears and didn’t see anything that could cause the violent scratching, diagnosed allergies and said to keep using the Tresaderm drops. I was told he was a champ when they took his blood, just kicked back and didn’t fight them.

The vet called an hour or so ago with results from the blood test, vet said Ben is in the beginnings of stage two renal failure (why am I not surprised?).  His bun was 44, creatinine was 4.3.  Not high enough to call for fluids (yay!).  He’ll be on calcitriol along with Mickey.

Who, by the way, is not putting up a huge fight when he gets fluids. The vet gave me a tube and explained how to use it if I want to try just hanging the fluids and doing it that way.

I dunno…..

The topic: The vet’s office just called

----------------------------------------------

I have to take Benny in at 9:30 for a geriatric workup.  I was in the shower and I heard the phone ring.  Brian answered it.

When he got off, he said “Sebastian isn’t coming back”.  The vet called to let us know the tag had fallen off and Sebby wasn’t even sent to the memorial place, he was sent with all the other animals that are just cremated and disposed of. He assured Brian that they’ll be changing their way of tagging animals and that it will NEVER happen to us again. 

I’m just really sad because Sebby’s life just sucked so much anyway.  And now he’s not going to be coming home.  I know it’s just remains, but he was a part of our family and he belongs with us.  Brian said that he’ll still be in our hearts, yeah, I know that.

And how do we get our $150.00 refund from the crematorium now? Obviously, the paperwork does NOT go with the animal.  Because they charged us for a pet they never got.

I’m pretty upset right now.
