<p>I have been quiet for a few days,. So sorry Susan to read about Hobson, but if anyone can bring his health to a better standard its YOU. To answer your concern over the galostop no it is not hormone based, but you have made a valid point about the conection. Anyway Elsa had one lump removed for biopsy on Tuesday, now because of Easter we have to wait until next Tuesday for the results although my vet said he was not concerned to much when he saw the lump after he removed it.</p>

<p>Hi Angela, I do not believe in coincidences. Has the vet considered that these lumps may have resulted from the 5 day course of Galastop he prescribed for Elsa re your topic on her Phantom Pregnancy? A biopsy is an invasive procedure and should only be performed as a last resort. I am hoping the Galastrop is not a hormone type drug.</p>
<p>I cannot comment on the topic Never Ending Problems because I feel so upset right now.</p>
<p>Hobson has also had another setback. I came home from work…</p>

<p>Hobson has also had another setback. I came home from work on Friday to find him in a terrible state. He had hurt his neck again and his left front leg. He did not eat for 3 days. In my desperation I drove to Brisbane for Hobson to receive treatment from a Bowen Therapist I do not know. She believes Hobson has torn the muscle connecting his shoulder to his neck. He is so thin and frail now I can carry him. All of Hobson's health problems have been caused by vets and probiotics have caused him more harm than good. In my distress I had forgotten that acupuncture can restore the life force and enable the body to heal itself. I am now trying to find an acupuncturist who treats animals who has the right intention. Hobson's life force is very low.</p>
<p>I sincerely hope your vet has explored all the options for Elsa.</p>
<p>Dianne, you know how I feel about Shelby.</p>

<p>Back to the vet today, not good news. Elsa`s lumps have not responded to the meds as well as the vet hoped, so tomorrow they are going to remove one for biopsy. I am so worried just can't believe this baby can have much wrong with her she is such a treasure and so happy and energetic. It`s going to be a long few days till we get the results.The vet said it could be related to her season, but there is no signs of her second season fingers and paws tightly crossed. <:0(</p>

<p>Oh Dianne I am so very sorry to read about your loss. It is so unbelievably painful and my thoughts are with you and your family.</p>
<p>Thank you for your replie to my post, I didn't realise there were others who felt like me thought I was being silly. Thank you all for your replies, Elsa has been on anti inflammatory s for 4 days I think I can say there is a little reduction in her swelling but not as much as I hoped, see what happens between now and Monday when I return to the vets.…</p>

Hi Angela, I'm happy you managed returning to the clinic. It's kind of odd I guess but the clinic where many we have said our last goodbyes to our furbabies has been our daughters work. I actually feel there presence when there (in a happy way) must be there spirits :o)) I can say this though....I've attended our AEC and naturally all have been an emergency situation or else we wouldn't have attended.

Hi Angela, I'm happy you managed returning to the clinic. It's kind of odd I guess but the clinic where many we have said our last goodbyes to our furbabies has been our daughters work. I actually feel there presence when there (in a happy way) must be there spirits :o)) I can say this though....I've attended our AEC and naturally all have been an emergency situation or else we wouldn't have attended. My daughter and myself took our very much loved Shelby early hours of Monday morning to AEC for what we felt wasn't too life threatening. I can't believe I'm writing these words but our Shelby's life ended on Monday morning....in so much shock and so numb. Angela, I will now always feel a strong loss at our animal emergency and dread the day I need to return! But loving furbabies comes at a price and I know I will have to return one day...they are a wonderful dedicated team of caring professionals.<br />

<p>Hi Angela</p>
<p>When I was a teenager, I couldn't even walk past the vet surgery where my first dog was pts and walked a back way home to avoid seeing the vets. It took a long time before I could walk by the place again. I had problems too when I have had to go back to the same vets where Lotte and Nalle were pts.

<p>Hi Angela</p>
<p>When I was a teenager, I couldn't even walk past the vet surgery where my first dog was pts and walked a back way home to avoid seeing the vets. It took a long time before I could walk by the place again. I had problems too when I have had to go back to the same vets where Lotte and Nalle were pts. The vets were great initially and allowed me to have my consults in another room, but eventually I took the step and went in that room when I felt I was ready. I said a little prayer to them as I went in but that room will always feel strange. I know a number of people who have felt the same way too. Some people do have to change vets, but round here you could end up with a bad vet, therefore it was not possible for me to do that. I find it helped just having a little chat in my head with my oldies as I went into the room and to tell them how much I love them and miss them, but that's just my way of coping x</p>
