Mike's been doing pretty good today. He hasn't passed any more clots ( thank You, Lord), and he's actually played with his sister a few times.

I called around this morning to try to find a vet to come to the house. One of them suggested Dr. Blaha. I have to tell you... this was probably the best lead I've ever had.

Dr. Blaha sounds like a wonderful lady... she will come to the house........ BUT... the good news is.... FIRST.. she's treating another dog with bladder cancer and has some supplements that might help Mike progress slower and possibly reverse "some" of his symptoms... I don't know if it would work, but it sure couldn't hurt... she said they are rather inexpensive and is sending me info on not only the supplements but also on her practice..... SECOND... and also awesome... she's RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM ME... LITERALLY... I COULD WALK THERE!!!

She even said she has a small bottle of Artimazan??? (don't remember but that's what it sounded like) that I could get from her at no charge after I read all the info.. and to save costs... she will give me the website to order on line. Of course, she will have to see Mike at least once to be able to prescribe for him, but that would be fine because she would be coming here. :-D Now that is a good vet. One who knows how so save a little money but not at the expense of the patient

When it's time to help him go to the bridge, it would be $65... said she'd have to bring a tech with her cuz she'd want to run a cath in his vein (poor puppy .. that sounds painful), so she could only do it on a Mon or Tues when she has a tech... but I'm not ready for that anyway... but it's good to know.

If I needed her for something else, she only charges $30 for the house call and $20 for the exam!!! That's almost less than what I pay at any other vet!!!! Hell.. she lives right around the corner, and if I had to (and if she has an office in her home) I could walk there and save the $30 and pay only $20. I'm going to keep her for Katie too. It's great too, because until I get a car, I won't have to worry about finding a ride to take them to the vet.

I feel guilty feeling so excited about her, especially for the reason I contacted her, but it's so good to know that a vet who's never even met him can and would offer to help him get better if it's possible and not be concerned with marking up any remedies for her own gain. Maybe she can at least relieve some of his symptoms and maybe delay the spread of the cancer.

When we were talking, I said, "oh God Bless You... you are such an angel... where were you when Mike started getting sick?".. she said she's only been doing house calls for about a year... and I told her.. he started in August, so she should have been here for him.. LOL... would have saved him a hell of a lot of fear.

I'm so glad I have some (relatively) good news to post for a change. It would be amazing if some of the supplements would help Mike live longer and healthier... but even if not.. at least I feel comfortable and at peace knowing he will have a vet who really cares about him

I pray everyone is doing well today. Thank you all so much for keeping up with my handsome guy.

Love & Blessings
