Doctor, Doctor, Gimme the News
Zeke has had a stalactite-like drooling problem for the past two days, and this morning he started shaking his head every so often as if something was annoying him, so we hit the vet today to check it out. He’s always very happy to get in the car for a ride, but he gets a bad case of the shivers when he realizes that we’re heading to the vet office right around the corner.
He’s actually really good at the vet. A little over-excited, but still “with it” enough to do down-stays for me when I ask.
He shoots me looks every so often as if to say “Ok, can we go now? I feel great! No rectal thermometer needed!”
As always, he let the vet do a variety of uncomfortable exams without a making a peep:
Zeke’s cranial nerves checked out ok, his neck-flexion test went fine, his facial symmetry looked good, his ears were clean and his teeth and salivary glands checked out ok as well. I have no idea what was going on in his grill over the past two days (the drooling was constant), but whatever it was, it’s gone now.
He’s all, “Dude, I told you I was fine!”
