Merkomon is the Factory dog at Glencardie Constructions in Sunshine and has been for abouts 8 years and is everybody's mate. Being a fluffy, white, slipper dog (malteze/shihtzhu), hes probably not the most common breed for this tough working environment however he holds his own and even queues up in line at the Tuckshop Van each day for his sausage roll and politely waits his turn to be served. Being a 'blokey dog' he hadn't been desexed but when an ávocado'' sized tumour was discovered nobody knew if he'd ever been to a vet since his vaccinations? We rang a few Vets locally but couldn't get him seen for about a week and we were all worried for him as he wasn't his grumpy self until we spoke to Ella at Sunshine Veterinary Clinic and she said "bring him in straight away" haha, we don't think he'd ever been on a collar and leash so a sparkly bright pink collar and leash with diamontes was promptly purchased..haha.. Woww.. Merkomon was promptly examined and Dr Yuri Sos said he would operate immediately!! Pheww, soo lucky! it wouldn't have been an easy job for Dr Yuri as the tumour was advanced but everything went smoothly and now Merkomon is happy and back to his grumpy old self and supervising everybody and making sure everybody is doing their work!! Dr Yuri also did a dental check and removed some very rotten teeth that no-one knew here knew that he had! We were given a worse case scenario with a minimum/maximum cost so that we were prepared and we all "chipped in" but Dr Yuri only charged us for what was required and what he did and we were very happy! Special mentions to Ella and Sheila and Merkomon now has his very own Vet!! Lilly provided a lovely Floral arrangement for the girls and a bottle of "something" is to be given to Dr Yuri in appreciation!
Cheers from everyone at Glencardie Constructions Pty Ltd
