Took her to see Dr. Farzad again on Friday due to a trace of a blood spotted in her urine. After thorough x-rays and analysis, it appears that it's just an UTI so we shouldn't have to worry about anything. I dragged her to work with me afterwards since Dad was out and I didn't want her to be alone. Ironically, we had more people complaining about walking Tessa through Canadian Tire to get a can opener (two) than walking her through the hospital (none). She behaved well all afternoon.
Current weight: 65.0 pounds.
Tessa went in for her annuals this weekend and we visited Dr. Farzad's for the first (real) time. I had made a huge fuss earlier this week going to the Willowdale Animal Hospital and giving them grief about first delaying the facsimile of her health records by three weeks, then trying to charge me for them. I was willing to pay for them at that point but the evening receptionist was so embarrassed by their procrastination that she put all twenty-eight pages through while I watched.
We probably should've changed vets sooner as Dr. Farzad was both terrific with Tessa and extremely generous with the charges. Tessa enjoyed the experience and didn't even notice the two needles until the good doctor sprayed her when a spot of blood seeped up. She's also managed to drop to 72.2 from 76.6 pounds since April 30th and we're very happy about that. Continued diligence!
