Today we headed back up to CSU to have Newton's incision looked at. I will say that I was a bit disappointed with CSU. Our appointment was at 10 am. Our vet student promptly took us back to one of the examination rooms and took down some notes. One of the things that I asked her about was Newton not eating. She said that she would discuss it with the Oncologist. She then took Newton to the back. About a half an hour later, Newton and the vet student came back. They removed the drain, but kept the stitches and the staples in. She said that either Dr. Culp or Dr. Perry would be in to talk with me about what the Pathologists have found. She didn't have an ETA, but gave me the impression that it wouldn't be too long. That was the last that I saw of her.

About an hour and a half later, Dr. Culp finally shows up. He told me that Newton's incision looks great and that they removed the drain. He didn't have much to say about the preliminary Pathology report. He said that the type of cells that were present aren't characteristic of an infection (which I question) and that he needed to go an talk with another owner. He said that Dr. Perry would provide me with more information once he talks finds out more. Needless to say, I waited an extra hour and a half for 3 minutes of Dr. Culp's time. I wasn't too happy about that. I indicated to him that I would need to help getting Newton back in the car. He said that he would send a nurse in.

After waiting another 20 minutes for a nurse to show up, I finally decided to leave. Dr. Culp even walked by and looked in but did nothing :-( I wasn't in a happy place at that point in time. Not only did I feel like I was waiting forever and the vet student never came back to check on us or get my question answered about the food. I finally found a nurse in the waiting room who helped me get Newton in the car.
