Busy with sick dog

[SaadBell 0]

Just haven't been around for a while, my daughter found this dog about two months ago, he was blind and deaf and wondering the streets. She of course brings him to me, he goes to the vet and gets checked out, were told he is around 13 years old and was not taken care of for a long time. So we keep this new dog, I also have a male chihuahua that is extremely jealous of this new dog. The dog looks to be a miniature fox terror, as soon as he was in my home for a couple of weeks I noticed that he seems to have some kind of cognitive problem. He has been seen by my vet and told he was fine just old and blind. So last Thursday at 1:30am, it is always in the middle of the night, the new dog starts to have these fits where he is clawing his face, and he is now bleeding. I am freaking out run him to the emergency vet, sit there till 4:30am, to be told they can't see anything wrong with him, the doctor tells me that he might have bitten his tongue and it is bothering him. Well I tell them to give the dog at least a pain shot, he is crying and bleeding, they do this, I get home and finally get some rest. I start to study and find out that the dog has cognitive dysfunction syndrome, I go to my regular vet and tell him what I think is wrong with him and he agrees, so now I am waiting on some new medicine that should help him. I also am keeping this dog heavily sedated, which helps, for he would pace for hours on end, to the point he was struggling with breathing. I just know that to get into vet school is really hard, only the best get a spot. So my question is why did I finally diagnosis him? He was seen by two vets and I stated the symptoms, they were text book, nothing hard, and they never even consider this. In school the vet students were the big elite, you have to really know your stuff to get into vet school, but after this I wonder what the hell are they studying. Sorry for the rant, I just can't believe they could not see the problem.

Than I see the message from the person that was asking which is faster way of getting a visa, and if you read this, let me tell you, THERE IS NO FAST WAY. We just got our first approval and just to get that took almost a year, we haven't even had our interview yet. So if someone knows a faster way, please let me know. lol
