❤️ FIND A VET THAT SMILES! 🥰

Find a vet that smiles like this when they are taking care of your animals! Dr. Amy is the relief vet at Blue Ridge Animal Hospital today and she was so kind in caring for our foster boy Dwayne. She said the Toms hold a special place in her heart.

Sweet Dwayne saw the vet today because he has been attacking himself. Seriously...sounds like a cat fight althoughhe'sin a room alone. Amy's assessment is that he is suffering from hyperesthesia. Hyperesthesia is a condition characterized by an increased sensitivity to touch, pain, and other sensory stimuli. He has self inflicted wounds all along his tail. His tail was shaved and cleaned. He received a convenia injection (antibiotic) to ward off any infection which is especially important since he is FIV+. He is receiving onsior (to control pain & inflammation) and gabapentin (to help with pain & anxiety). He also has pretty cruddy, itchy ears so posatex to address an ear infection. He will wear the eCollar until his tail heals. He goes for a recheck in two weeks.

But get this...all that and Dwayne purred pretty much non stop. So glad his sunny disposition is intact!
