New Vet

We've been going to Ashworth Road Animal Hospital for over 20 years... I think.  We went there with Quincy and Murphy... and now Boom.  Unfortunately, my favorite vet left several years ago... but we stayed.  The last few visits for Boomer haven't been the greatest - just not feeling 'loved' and having a hard time connecting with the vet.  I was fed up, so I started searching. 

Friday we visited with a different vet at Waukee-Clive Vet.  Her name is Dr. Hufferd, and she was very nice... very kind... interested in Boomer... got on the floor to talk and pet him...  overloaded me with information...  and made me feel like I was not dumb.  

We have some things to work on for Boom - he's been licking a lot, so we are going to try an allergy med for him, to see if that will calm that behavior down.  In addition, his anxiety is pretty high.  We are going on a little vacation in July, in which Boomer will need to be boarded...  and that is a lot for him.  So we are trying some calming meds in hopes that will help.  I'm worried.  

Regardless, we have some things to try, and I felt comfortable with this new vet.  We will continue to try her and her office, and see how things go. 

We love this pup so dang much.
