Doctor/Vet visits

Since Vikki's birthday things have been crazy with her and Oliver.
Thursday, August 19th, Vikki stepped on Oliver while they were making the bed.  This was at 11:30 p.m. and when Adam got home, it was off to urgent care for Oliver.  No long bones were broke on Oliver, so he got two shots and we all headed home.  After calling Oliver's vet Friday morning, he went in for some x-rays.  At 1:00 p.m., Vikki got the call that Oliver had a fractured elbow and he needed surgery.  At 2:00 p.m., Oliver went in for surgery to have 6 pins inserted in his elbow to realign the two bones that were fractured.  After an hour and a half surgery Oliver was out and doing good.  Saturday, we picked Oliver up and got the report that he is doing great, but will need to be give medication for the next two weeks.  Oliver will need to be in for check-ups every two weeks for the next three months.
Vikki has been having some health issues once again and it looks like we will be visiting the doctors more frequently.  Vikki's white blood cell count and hemoglobin have been low, so yesterday they gave her a booster shot, Neulasta.
Today, Vikki had a CT & MRI and they found a golf-ball size mass in her liver.  There will be a biopsy some time this week to determine if it is cancerous.  If it is, she will start chemo and radiation on Monday.  If it is not, then we will be doing bi-monthly visits to the doctor.
