Vets in Practice (VIP)

[Edlyn_rn]

Hi, Ask ko lang how much per day sa VIP? Naka confine kasi yung Tzu ko now sa animal care specialist  & yung Boarding- 550 IV- 850 wala pa meds for Parvo.  TIA

[cocoysmom]

^sad to hear that, hirap pag may sakit pets, parang may sakit din anak mo talaga. ang hirap emotionally, ang gastos pa.

same lang ang alam ko sis. if need i-confine, sana sa VIP para may titingin sa dog mo 24/7 kasi sa tiendesitas walang naiiwan sa gabi, yun ang alam ko ha. ewan ko lang ngayon...i hope your furbaby gets well soon.

^nung inask ko ang vet kung masama ang ivomec, sabi nya hindi naman daw. ang sabi pa, pag may mange daw, kailangan monthly na talaga ang treatment. more than a year na ata kami nagiivomec/advocate kaya feeling ko ito talaga ang main cause ng elevated sgpt nya. Gusto ko na rin magstop for few months, tapos soap and heartgard na lang muna siguro gamitin namin. Saka ko sya ipaskin scrape and blood test ulit. Kaso ang advise naman sakin is to stop raw feeding and ibalik sa dogfood. Pero yung mange treatment, hindi binanggit. May idea ka sis, until when present ang meds sa blood nila? Ang daming kong tanong, pero very minimal ang nakukuha kong sagot

hi sis, i tried looking for my receipt i can't find it na. wala kasing prescription yun kasi dun na mismo pinapa-inject yun. i don't keep receipts kasi, only their prescriptions para hindi ko na maalala ang bayaran. hehe. siguro it's worth a try. ang alam ko hindi talaga agad baba ang sgpt, pero try shifting to liverolin. mas maganda naging response ng dog ko sa kanya before. now nga lang hindi ko magamit yan kasi liquid, mas carry painumin itong isa ng liv-52 kasi tablet form, natatapon kasi pag syrup sa kanya. try superdog soap if hindi mo pa na-try for abu, so far i think better sya than lori and the other madre de cacao soap...

[abuanddiego]

^thanks again sis. diba yung superdog soap yan yung from Manalo K9? Sinearch ko sa google at kamusta naman itong nakita ko http://www.pinoypetfinder.com/forum/index.php?topic=24373.15;wap2

hindi pala sis si Abu yung may problema, si Diego itong topic natin so hindi pala talaga biglang baba ang sgpt kahit bigyan sila ng meds. iniisip ko din yan before, kasi sabi sakin blood test daw ulit after one month, eh ang sakin di ba parang napakaikling period nun para makakita ng grabeng improvement? nagsasayang lang ata ako ng pera sa blood tests and meds eh haha! nakita ko na rin yung liverolin, gusto ko rin sana itry pero liv52 and iron aid kasi yung available sa vet namin kaya yun lang natry ko. tanda mo pa sis ang scent ng liverolin? kasi yung iron aid, amoy vanilla sya kaya siguro gusto niya. hirap din ako pag syrup kasi sa umpisa niluluwa, mas madali pag tablet gaya nitong liv52 kasi iniipit ko lang sa liver or sardines, para shoot agad sa bibig hehe

naalala ko pa pala, sabi ng vet sakin kailangan bantayan din yung cholesterol nya. pero ang alam ko kasi talaga sa dogs, hindi delikado ang fats and cholesterol dahil nga carnivores sila. Kung too much ang naibigay, kaya nilang iutilize yun basta fresh and good quality. I'm really hoping na makahanap ng vet who's really an expert in dog nutrition ng maliwanagan na tayo once and for all. Maraming salamat ulit sis

sis, 450 for boarding and 850 for IV. my baby was just confined last monday at vip mandaluyong.  got her on tuesday. she had hypocalcemia. biglang nanghina talaga sya nun. doc mau assisted us. hope your baby gets well soon.

[Edlyn_rn]

Thank you cocoysmom & newbie_po2, 600 daw kasi need to isolate kasi parvo  visit namin sya kanina mas matamlay na sya sabi namin ni hubby dun n lang muna kasi baka mastress naman sa byahe dahil matrapik na ngayun, tom pag medyo ok na sya itransfer namin ng morning.

Sis newbie_po2 buti ok na furbaby mo. 6 days pa lang si Woody sa amin & gift namin sa son ko 3 months sya nung nakuha namin.

[cocoysmom]

^ask ko sis ilang vaccines given before nyo nakuha si woody? at 3 months kasi mas protected na dapat sya kung nabigyan na at least 3 shots ng 5 in 1 man lang. i pray he gets well na gift nyo pa pala sa anak nyo sya.

^thanks again sis. diba yung superdog soap yan yung from Manalo K9? Sinearch ko sa google at kamusta naman itong nakita ko http://www.pinoypetfinder.com/forum/index.php?topic=24373.15;wap2

ngek! sorry si diego pala...haha. naku, hindi ko alam may issue na ganyan. nung nagamit ko kasi yung soap, nagustuhan ko ang result sa dog ko. i've tried lori, amitraz, mycocide, forgot ko pa yung isa...as in super frustrating.  awang-awa na din ako sa kanya kasi ang pangit nya nun. may mga sugat sya na nagtutubig at oozing... yung sa link parang sa namatay na dog while in training naman ang issue nila and not sa soap? hehe. i feel magandang kaagapay sya ng gamot na inject nila sa dog ko. 

if the cholesterol is high, maari talagang umakyat din ang sgpt. fatty liver change. maybe VIP could do an ultrasound for diego?

[abuanddiego]

^parang sinasabi kasi nila, since madami ng naloko yung manalo k9, parang yung products nya ay hindi rin ganun kaeffective, magaling lang sila sa marketing strategy kaya nagmumukhang maganda yung soap. pero ewan ko lang din kasi di ko pa naman nagamit. after ko mabasa from 1st-last page, parang naturn-off ako sa kanila at nawalan ako ng tiwala sa mga products sis, yung mga natry mo palang mga soap masyadong harsh, si Diego nung may mange, herbal soaps, advocate and ivomec yung mga ginamit namin. Mabilis naman sya makarecover. Palakasin mo rin parati ang immune system kasi nagmamanifest ang mange pag mahina ang immune system nila. Pag healthy sila, matutulog lang ang mange

naku ultrasound, ayaw na ayaw pa naman niya na pinapahiga sya. kailangan muna sya patulugin bago sila makapagperform ng ultrasound hehe. how much pala ang xray sa vip?

[cocoysmom]

^actually hindi ko binasa buong thread, hehe. mahaba, yung na-open lang na page. haha. pero oks lang kasi cheap lang naman yung soap, binili ko nga yung pagkamamahal na shampoo na yun eh, yung php 150 pa. saka ok result so carry na lang kahit may issue sila. siguro hiyangan din talaga?

ang lori sabi sa akin herbal soap? nakita ko madre de cacao naman. kasabayan nun yung ivomec. then nalipat sa amitraz soap, wala pa din. so parang andami. nung ok-ok na saka nag-advocate. malapit na nga ata mag-give up yung vet sa amin eh. hehe. kaya dinala ko na sya sa animal specialists kasi parang paulit-ulit na lang nire-reseta.    he's also on immunol and brewer's yeast...

xray sa VIP parang php 500 ata binayad namin before for my shih tzu. dunno kung tumaas na...

[abuanddiego]

^may variants kasi ata ang lori na merong amitraz so hindi talaga sila pure herbal soaps, check na lang mabuti yung label para makasigurado. amitraz and mycocide naman masyadong toxic kaya never ko isusuggest gamitin sila. yung sa akin naman, isang application lang ng advocate or ivomec, within days lang may improvement na. kahit di ko paliguan frequently with medicated herbal soaps kayang gumaling. maswerte pa rin pala kami kasi nahiyang sya mga meds, tsaka yung vet namin lagi niya tinatanong kung effective ba at nahihiya sya pag di tumatalab mga nireseta nya haha! nagsusuggest sya agad ng ibang products.

pinatulog ba sya sis during her xray procedure?

[twelve5]

sad ako over the weekend. di ok lab test ng alaga ko. taas na naman crea nya so he's back in medication. grabe ang hirap ng may sakit ang alaga.

mga sis, have your pets regularly checked by vets, maski no symptoms. ganyan nakita yung kidney issue nya. walang symptoms yun, tsaka pup pa sya... pero buti nalang din early detection kaya we are able to manage his condition.

alam ko walang amitraz sis yung lori variant nya na pinagamit. herbal nga lang, MDC, guava, etc. swerte mo nahiyang agad sa ginamit na soap. ako talagang whole nine yards, bestfriend ko na ang pet shop dito. kasi yun daw ang kailangan eh, so sige, bigay, para lang gumaling...huhuhu.
hindi naman pinatulog. restrained lang ata sa loob. hindi nga lang ako kasama so hindi ko alam pano nila ni-restrain. ultrasound naman karga ko yung dog ko.

i hope you don't mind sis, how high ang crea ng dog mo? saka anong klaseng kidney problem? kung pup pa nalaman, does it mean congenital or inborn problem nya?

[twelve5]

^ i dont have the detailed results pero nasa 160 daw yung crea, and yes, mukhang inborn nga daw. possible daw na di nag develop completely yung kidney. about 2 yrs old sya when diagnosed.

[abuanddiego]

^^baka yung nagamit nyo sis is yung pure herbal nga, may nakita kasi akong lori soap with some percent of amitraz. alala ko sabi rin ng vet sakin, sabihin ko daw kung nagwork yung mga meds na ginamit or hindi, feeling ko hiyangan din talaga pag may mange. May mga soaps and meds na magwowork sa isang dog pero sa iba hindi. Feeling ko depende rin sa immune system ang bilis ng recovery period e. napaisip tuloy ako ng mga possible na sasabihin sakin pag lumipat ng vet

^kaya nyo yan sis! alam mo pag hinahawakan ko yung mga gamot na pinapainom ko sa panganay ko, twice ko sya pinapainom in a day, naluluha ako kasi alam kong may mali. Pero everytime makikita ko syang masaya, excited at makulit, gumagaan loob ko kasi alam ko that he is a fighter. Kumbaga sya rin nagbibigay sakin ng drive at hope kasi nakikita kong happy sya. basta for better or for worse, andito lang tayo para sa kanila, walang iwanan Nakailang test na pala kayo for his kidney? At ilang months na kayo nagmemeds?

We took our lab Roe to VIP mandaluyong around 12:30am. Mabilis sila kumilos at alam nila agad na may problem yung katawan ng dog namin. They didn't ask for deposit before administering any medical care to our dog. Lahat ng kailangan ng dog namin binigay na nila pero she died around 6am. Hindi na talaga kinaya ng katawan niya. Her body will be buried c/o Dr.Nielsen this weekend.

Pansin namin professional talaga sila sa VIP, super supportive din lalo na yung nurses nila. They looked apologetic when they saw me crying over Roe's body.

[achengtarush]

^ I am so sorry to hear that

[cocoysmom]

We took our lab Roe to VIP mandaluyong around 12:30am...

...i'm sorry for your loss sis. ako man nag-iiyak na sa VIP, ilang beses na din sa harap ni doc nielsen, nakakahiya looking back pero wala eh, masakit talaga kapag nawawala pets natin.

I just brought my Chow, Bruno, to VIP Alabang. They took care of him right away. He was admitted because he was dehydrated from diarrhea and not eating. He has hookworms though I don't k ow where he got it since they only go out for walks and are at home the whole day. Still, am thankful it was not Parvo. Dr Jess is the one attending him. Anyone worked with Dr Jess before?

He Was nice enough and gave me medicine also for my other chow. Just to be sure that he doesn't have the worms also. Major cleaning din kami today sa house since the worms may have spread in the house.

[maricar14]

My Bruno just died tonight at past 9PM. Turns out he had Parvo after all. I received a call from VIP Alabang to inform me that he passed away already. I was here in less than 30 minutes. Only a caretaker is here at night.

My heart is breaking just thinking that he passed away all alone in the isolation room. The TV was on in the clinic. I don't know how often the caretaker was looking in on him or if anything could have been done if there was a doctor around

Right now, am wishing that I didn't have him admitted today. Atleast at home, he would have been with family. Illogical I know but my heart is breaking just thinking that he was all alone in the isolation room.

Guys, just wanted to share. Ever since we got our kittens, we've been doing the regular check-ups and all. Unfortunately, super selan pala ng kittens. We had problems with worms, lice, ear mites, Protozoa, tummy bacteria, etc. Needless to say, we often go to the vet. Since we're in the Pasig/Ortigas area, we tried out Animal Care Specialists in Tiendesitas, Animal House in Ortigas, Eastwood, and MOA, and Animal Care along Katipunan Ave. We've experienced so much na with numerous vets, so far the best for us si VIP in Mandaluyong. Though medyo malayo siya, dinadayo talaga namin.

So far the best experience in handling our babies. Yung iba kasi hindi ko alam kung Vet o nakiki-hawak lang. They teach you how to give medicine effectively, lalo na cats foam out the medicine pag di nila gusto yung lasa. Tapos the procedures are done carefully with the leat discomfort sa cat as possible. Iba kasi basta basta nalang. Yes, medyo mahal. But nadala na kami kakatipid sa ibang vet pero hindi naman na-address ng maayos yung situation ng babies namin.

Tagal lang to wait para ma-attendan ng doctor. At least 20 minutes of waiting.

Di na kami pumupunta sa iba. VIP nalang lagi in Mandaluyong.

[twelve5]

^ condolence, maricar14.

I know how you feel. I had a pup that died of parvo. Sa clinic sa QC naka confine. He died alone, too. 



sis abuanddiego, nung first time nakita yung kidney issue, he was on meds for 2 or 3 months ata. Then the vet said stop na meds kasi nagnormalize na crea nya. Then after 6 months, we had him tested again, ayun mataas na naman, so back to meds uli... Happy rin ako basta happy yung alaga ko. As much as possible i dont want him to see me worry. May times lang talaga that i cant help but cry.
