Everything worked out fine and the little guy is doing well. Turns out the receptionist at the W-S clinic used to work for our vet so the communication flow was outstanding.
Lesson learned, always know where the closest animal emergency center is located.

2 years ago, we were on an extended trip with our Tigger, at the time 9 yrs old,..had been diagnosed diabetic about 6 months earlier. She was doing well on pills, rather than shots. We had her checked before we left for our trip..our vet said she should be ok. On the last leg of our trip, at Bryce National Park (everyone should visit Bryce) .. at night it was about 35 ..Tigger loved to sleep on the floor in the motorhome .. she caught a cold .. no vet nearby .. could not reach our vet .. in a little more than a day she passed away. When she got sick, she would not eat or drink...rejected her pill..it all happened so fast...it was horrible. Even though we have KC...we still mourn her death. I pass this story on to everyone, just to let you know...you never know what can happen. One day they are doing their usual routine..the next they are gone.
We love and miss you Tigger ... KC travels with Tigger doll ...
Enjoy your furry kids and treasure every minute...good and bad !
