Jaspers 6th vet visit!

So Jasper is 2/12 years old. He has been to the vet 6 times so far. TD is 6 and he has been 9 times. Jasper is not very gracefull when it comes to exploring and playing in the back yard. The 2nd trip to the vet was because he was limping around for 2 weeks and I took him in and she told me he needed to see a doggie bone surgeon because he had probably torn his cruciate ligament. He is not a football player, what?? She gave me some pills and said put him on bed reat, not gonna happen. I work! Well the pills worked thank god and he never hobbled again(so far). I researched the surgery on the internet and besides being 5 grand, he would have to be crated for 4 weeks. Not gonna happen, I work! So the next visit was when we came home from New York, I noticed he was all swollen and had hives. Being a nurse I knew he was allergic to something, but what? Called the vet and because it was after hrs, they said up front it would be 65.00 just to see him! Well, Ill be there in 3 mins. So they gave him benadryl and decadron IV and boy was he sleepy, hives gone though. I had to give him benadryl for the next day or 2 so he was quite sleepy. We have no idea what he got into. Next visit was for a major bath that he needed, he pissed on the floor in the waiting room. nice. Oh and this is a new vet now, we switched because Jack takes care of their pool. FIrst impression, Jasper didnt. So next visit I came home from work about 4 and noticed him licking under his left front leg, it looked red, swollen and oozing. I had no idea what he had done. Took him to new vet and apparently he had cut himself and they had to shave him, give him more antibiotics and a topical powder. He hated the powder, I would just hold it in my hand, he would see it and run, so I had to sneakk up on him while sleeping to do it. So, today was supposed to be just a yearly shots etc. But I should have known it would not be that easy.He has bilateral ear infections and he has a little tumor thing growing on the side of his face, so he has to have that removed next Friday!!!! Seriuosly, you would think for Christmas, J would give us a break!
