The Specialist

Cisco my Love
Today Cisco and I went to an oncology specialist. We sat in an overcrowded waiting room. I walked in and started crying. I wasn't alone. This is not a happy place. The vet went over Mr. Cisco's recent tests, ultrasound and gave him another physical. This unfortunately will not be our only visit. Were due back in next week for more testing. Once testing is complete we begin treatment and we'll be back on a regular basis through the Winter. I am electing to use both a traditional and holistic approach. I am now looking for a holistic veterinarian. I have a referral for someone 1500 miles from home. I'm searching for something closer. Cisco is a major part of my life and an integral member of the family. The goal is to make him comfortable, pain free, as independent as he would like too be, and without fear. I cannot... will not... allow this to reduce him to what he is not. This is a courageous, brilliant, proud, alpha Springer Spaniel and so he will remain.
