pissed

the stand in vet at our regular (really good, really caring) clinic fucked up Ninny's treatment and put her in danger. I just provided him with a new cloaca. He will be disciplined. Turns out that idiot didn't give Ninny (who has been in ketoacidosis) insulin along with her fluids WHICH IS HOW YOU TREAT THAT CRISIS. Fucker.
She's back with her regular vet who is taking good care of her and he's going to
deal with Dr. Hernandez (and find out what in the HELL he was thinking)and report back to me. Dr. Rovner says there is NO REASON for her diabetes to kill her now if we keep it managed, WHICH WE WILL, if we are given the chance. Oh boy am I going to badmouth Dr. Hernandez everywhere, unless he has a REALLY GOOD explanation which I doubt, Dr. Rovner says Ninny can have her life back.

I'm so fucking pissed at Dr. Hernandez I could send him into diabetic ketoacidocis and withhold treatment after I pulled out his intestines.


She's hospitalized for a few days while they get her insulin levels stabilized. We'll be giving her shots for awhile if not forever but I would feed her 100 times a day and carry her on a golden pillow if it made her feel happy and like herself.

well, at least she's ok. In a way it's relief that it was the doc's fault and not her getting worse on her own.

darlin' i have some strawberry wine with our name on it (if you'd care to indulge), let me know when you are up for a visitor and i will drop over after work ... i can probably get there by 5:30 any time this week. Just give me a ring or email and let me know what works for you :) hey, and i seem to recall owing you a chocolate cake :D
