Daisy

I haven't been posting because my internet service is intermittent.  Seems Verizon can't or won't send a tech to fix the problem and it is in their equipment.  Anyway, last Friday morning I noticed a swelling under Daisy's left eye.  So I thought infected sinus.  However, when I checked her mouth, I discovered she had a severely infected tooth.  Ok, I call my vet at 8am.  Yes, he will return my call.  I knew Daisy needed an antibiotic and assumed the vet would want to remove the tooth as soon as the infection was taken care of.  I also knew I would not allow him to remove the tooth before the infection was under control.  Doing so without taking care of the infection first would open an avenue for the infection to easily spread to the rest of her body.  I waited.  At 1PM, I called back.  Well, my vet had left for the weekend.  They would have another vet call me back.  At 4:55pm, I called back.  No one had bothered to return my call.  Ok, Dr. Hoffmann was on call and would return my call.  Nope.  I wanted to talk to him now.  So the receptionist called this vet.  His reply:  I have never seen this dog so I can't help you.  Hello!  He is on call and is on call all night.  He never returned my call.  Daisy had to endure the pain for 24 hours before I got her on a medication.
