Week 8 - Gaby loves to go to the vets!

I noticed this week that Gaby loves to go to the vets now. This morning was the day after her week 8 Visticrine treatments and both Jennifer and I were leaving for work. We had Gaby go outside and she immediately went to my car as if she were going bye-bye. I couldn't convince her that she wasn't going with me.

Yesterday, I didn't even have to put her on the leash when I got her out of the car to get her blood drawn for the CBC. She leaped from the car and walked to the door to go inside. Once inside, she is the best girl! She stays right beside me until I sit down and then comes up to me to be petted until the vet tech comes back to take her in the backroom. She really doesn't shake anymore while waiting which makes me think she is very comfortable in that building now.

Dr. B told my wife when she picked her up that she thought Gaby was telling her something. She tolerated her treatments ok but was exhibiting strange behaviour. She would come over and put her head on the side of Dr. B's leg wherever she was in the room. Dr. B thought Gaby was trying to tell her that her ears were bothering her. Jennifer laughed and told Dr. B that Gaby only does that for a few people and it means that Gaby trusts her. Gaby even fell asleep in Dr. B's arms while she was getting treatments.

It seems that Gaby considers Dr. B part of the family now.

Last Tuesday, Gaby had some tummy issues again. We had to get her some meds again for that but now she seems to be OK again. Those goldens sure have sensitive tummies.

More good news that her CBC this week showed increase white blood cell counts.
