I woke up at eight thirty. I had breakfast then I gave Kelly his pill and had a shower.
I took Kelly to the vet, we had to wait about half an hour before we went into the examining room. Dr. R came in and said how are you Tanya. I said this is Kelly and were suppose to see Dr. C he went out and said he would straighten it out. Dr. C finally came in and said she could increase Kelly’s medication or run a few test to make sure nothing else was wrong. Dr. C said the tests were all okay, she showed them to me. She said the only other thing it could be is a brain tumour but the only way to check that is to do a brain scan. Dr. C said they do them at UBC Hospital but it’s very expensive. On the other hand he could have epilepsy anyways. I asked if I could increase the valium to one pill. She said yes, start with one pill twice a day and you can go to three times a day. No more than that. Dr. C said Kelly would have to go to another medicine. She mentioned another medication but I can’t remember the name. She said it would make him sleep for the first few days but after a week he would be okay.
When we came out of the examining room there were at least five dogs in the waiting room, mostly big dogs. We had to wait awhile before we got the bill. A lot of people asked me about Kelly, they all thought he was a girl!
We got home before noon. Charlie left to go grocery shopping. I did the dishes and tided up the house.
Mom phoned in the afternoon and invited us for dinner. She asked about Kelly and I told her what had happened. She was really mad, she said they should x-ray his head. I said that’s what happens when an animal has epilepsy they don’t have the equipment to do the test they do with people.
I put away Alex’s toys and tided up the house before we went to Mom and Dad’s.
After dinner we play Trivial Pursuit. We got home around ten thirty.
Alex had a snack and I had my snack. Then Alex got ready for bed. I read him a story and by the time he got into bed it was after eleven o’clock. Alex had a nap at Mom and Dad’s. He must have been really tired.
I went to bed at eleven thirty.
