A visit to the vet

Cookies got lots of red patches and spots on her hind legs and back portion of her body. We decided to take Cookies to consult the vet. It was an expensive and unpleasant trip for us and Cookies.
An appointment was made at 3.30pm. We reached on the dot. We waited for a while before we our turn. While waiting for our turn I left Cookies and hubby at the clinic. When I got back they were inside the consultant room. After waiting for a while, hubby rang me and I got in to the consultant room. The vet was not there. Hubby mention that the vet went and took a rest.

There was 3 options to decide for her treatment.
1. Put on a head shield
2. Medication to treat her chewing problem (might due to anxiety or itch)
3. Steroids

We finally decided to get her a shield to wear. Hubby was a little upset about using the shield. As for me I am fine with the idea to let Cookies to have the shield as this was the best among the three options. Prolong medication is always not a good choice. Worst still steroids.

Why was the trip unpleasant to us and Cookies? The bill was expensive and the attitude of the vet.

We try on the shield on Cookies. She struggle a little. She was on the shield for about an hour. Hubby was a little sad that Cookies need to put on the shield. I brain storm a little and turn one of my old pyjama for Cookies to put on. It was not effective as it tend to slip off her when she walked.

These few days she will be on the shield for the whole day till we reached home in the evening.
