Trialing no Creon.......scared

[Patsy]

Let’s hope your costs drop down very quickly. I overcame complaints about money by reminding him he kept his hobbies in the garage and they need constant new bits! I don’t ask and nor does he now.
Also you must remind the vet to concentrate on the essential tests for now. A lot of the subsidiary problems occur because of a downturn in epi symptoms. These usually resolve themselves as the dogs epi state is resolved. I read too often of expensive biopsies and scans that don’t actually reveal any more than the common sense approach of feeling where it hurts, studying poo photos, urine and blood.
Like doctors, some vets want to be surgeons, others are prefer the medical approach. With eg, human cancer, in the UK you meet a multidisciplinary team....the surgeon proposes surgery, the radiologist wants radiotherapy, the medic wants chemo. It’s hard to know who is right.

Separately, my cocker had guarding issues, and the rule was to never ever confront him aggressively, and OH, got angry once which upset everyone, with the remark, it’s me or the dog. I ignored it, and nothing happened. Intensive training in dog psychology for OH was attempted. Things got better!
Keep going, you will turn the corner.

I'm glad things seem to be turning around with Buzz. Hopefully the costs will go down now that the Creon is at the right dose for one thing! Much less going in.....
Glad Oleisa, Madelon and Jill have been helping, that's a good team to have on board.

Hi Danielle, glad to hear Buzz is doing better and the lower Creon dose is working.
The cost monthly should lower and stabilize once things settle down. Not sure on Creon price but going from 420 a month down to 60 has to be big!
When Buzz vomits is it all day off and on or limited to a time frame?
Hang in there, our babies are worth it. We all love them. 5 times in his life Mick clogged with a stone, in the evening, after hours, had to rush to emergency vet. Surgery the next day. Each emergency was about 3500.00. This always happened when we were on a down turn in the business. Somehow we got through. When it came right down to it my husband loved that pup as much as I did, even though at times words were said and it made me think. That dog would never stay put on John's lap, always my shadow
Hang tough.
