Yeah Ark Animal Hospital

I take Sake to the Ark Animal Hospital http://arkhospitalforpets.ybsitecenter.com/ and check them out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ark-Animal-Clinic/144313622430982?ref=br_rs&rf=374702392598106.

I took Mack there well before 1995, and they treated him so well. He hated to be in a cage, and when I told them that, when he had to stay for a procedure that they had to anesthetize him for, they put him in a room, and called me when he was ready to go home.

With Sake, they have been wonderful. They did not keep her after surgery, because of her attitude.

Sake stopped eating Sunday night, and did not eat Monday.  So, when she did not eat Tuesday morning, I called for an appointment Tuesday morning and arranged for one Tuesday afternoon.  I took Sake in, and we checked in, and the vet tech told me to go to exam 1.  She asked me if I wanted her or the vet to give the injection, and I said it was fine if she did it. She also asked the vet, who agreed Natalie could give the injection.  We opened the crate and Natalie injected Sake before she knew what was happening!  She did not even get off a decent growl!

And because we are a frequent flyer, we do not pay for an office visit, unless something else has to be done.  I truly appreciate that.

The last time I took Sake in for an injection, it was March 28, 2015.  Before that, it had only been two weeks.  This time it was a little over 3 weeks. On the 28th, they changed to a different steroid, and that seemed to help.

So we used that steroid, again.  And, unlike the most recent past, Sake started eating last night. Not much, but she has free access to food all day, and can eat a little at a time. I suspect that is what she did during the day today, although she ate a little at breakfast time.  She ate a little at dinner tonight, and was just eating again.  So this is good. 

When this problem started in 2013, she would usually respond to an injection within 12-24 hours, but as time has progressed, sometimes it took her 2-3 days to do more than just lick at food. So, maybe this different steroid will help.

I hope.  I just hate that she feels poorly.
