Bronte update
Well, she lost another pound (down to 6.5 lbs now), and her PCV value is about 7%, which is considered to be fatal levels. However, her personality is still very much in place, and she's eating and drinking, so the plan is to keep her on meds and as comfortable as possible for the time she has left. She will likely become weaker -- to the point where she won't have any interest in eating or drinking. At that point, we're going to have to bring her in for the last time. But like I said, she's still active (in that she's walking around and getting into trouble), and still demanding attention, so hopefully that day is a long way off.
This wasn't an easy decision to come to, but we both feel it's the right decision. She's not in any pain, she's just... weak.
The pharmacy, however, is being... you know what? There aren't words for what they're being. I've been having a devil of a time filling the cytoxin prescription Bronte needs (in addition to her Prednisone, which I can get from the vet clinic's pharmacy). Every single time I've dropped the prescription off, they've been all, "Okay! You can pick it up in two hours!" Then I go back: "We're sorry, this is out of stock. It'll be in in a few days!" I go back a few days later: "We're sorry, this is out of stock." WHAT. JUST. WHAT. WTF, PEOPLE. And it doesn't matter if they call the other Walgreens in the area -- NONE OF THEM HAVE THIS MEDICATION. I was complaining about this to Dr. Young recently, and he said the next time it happened to call the clinic and THEY'D call the pharmacy to impress upon them the importance of keeping DRUGS IN STOCK.
Argh.
