So, I realized that I have not updated you on what has been going on the last few days. Things are going well. I have been really happy because I have been able to talk to Robert often.
However, we are having problems with Joey. He has been needing to go to the vet quite often. He went the first time about a month ago. That was to the Baumholder Vet. Just for shots. While he was there I asked about medication to put him on because of his occasional seizures. The gave me some. About a week or two later I noticed that he has a lump between his back leg and his ribs. So I tried to call the Baumholder Vet to make an appointment. They were not answering the phone all day so the next day I called the vet in Birkenfeld that we took Panda too. They got him in the next day. She took a sample of the lump and it was nothing to be worried about. But she was upset that the Baumholder Vet did not do blood work before giving him the medication. So the next week we had to go back for that. Then the next week he had a follow up to make sure the lump was still nothing to worry about. While at the appointment I noticed that his paws looked a little dried out. So I asked about that. It turns out that he has allergies. They wanted to bring him back this week for another follow up. But I told her that we could not keep doing this. It is getting too expensive. She said that was fine but if things got worse then he would have to go. I agreed to that. I am very happy with how involved and concerned they are for Joey, I just wish that he did not have to go anymore. He does have to go one more time to get more blood drawn to make sure that his levels are good on the medication. It is just hard because each time we go we spend at least 45 euro. That is like 70 dollars. The most we spent in one time was 70 euro, that is over a hundred dollars. I just cant keep this up. Anyways, that is what is going on. Just please pray that Joey does not have anymore problems.
