Gilbert report
Mar. 13th, 2007 04:30 pmFor those interested in Gilbert's health, who knew that the vet left a "please call me" message. We played phone tag today, but she left a message on my work voicemail, and here's the summary I sent to Neta, who was kindly askign after teh old guy because she knew I was worried:
"It sounds as if (from the message the dr. left) they detected initial signs of kidney disease and they want to adjust his diet. Which is fine except his regular dr. figured this out several years ago and had me adjust his diet, which makes me think the dr. I saw the other day is a moron who didn't bother to read his file. In fact, I'm pretty sure of it, since she told me to give him limited doses of aspirin to reduce inflammation from his injury, and if she had read his file, she would have seen that he's already *getting* the maximum dose that they think is wise, on account of his aging joints."
This after spent the better part of the day at the garage tryign to get the car inspected (finally did, including oil change and tune-up, replacement of a brake light and some engine belts)
