Dulce and the vet

(1/2) > >>

Borlotti:
Took Dulce to the vet yesterday as his claws are too sharp and keeps catching in my jumper or my veins on my hand.  Just for a check up. He has never been to the vet before or in the car. He was very, very scared in the car in the cat carrier and meowed all the way to the vet, and was panting badly.  Anyway, we saw the vet after a little wait, and thought he had wet himself.  When we got out he had a runny poo, all over him.  The vet said next time, you bring him just tell someone as not fair to leave him like that and they will clean him up whilst waiting for the vet.  They had two separate areas for dogs and cats, to stop the cats getting so nervous. Luckily the vet was great and washed him down, and got the carrier washed out whilst I explained that he was very nervous.  He had his claws clipped, and was checked for a microchip in case he was stolen.  He also had a worm treatment, an injection against cat flu, and his teeth looked at.  He is slightly overweight, but the vet was brilliant, did suggest some dry food for his teeth, but he got the all clear. Have to take him back in 3 weeks for the second injection which is covered in the cost.  It only cost me just over £50. which I think is brilliant for the treatment he got. Anyway thanks to a wonderful local vet, who did not try to persuade me to do anything I was not comfortable with.  Dulce is happy now back on his lovely settee with OH.

Glad you got good service. Separate waiting places are such a good idea. I find that a lot of people let the dogs run about on the extendable leads so they come right up to my rabbits which are petrified. Vet did say I can put them in another room when waiting.

That's brilliant, it costs me over £50 just for a flu jab, which takes around 10 seconds!

Very good service.  Next time Dulce will hopefully be less stressed.  :wave:

Borlotti:
He was worse this morning. Wet in the carrier in the car before we drove. Had to bring him back and clean the carrier then had a terrible job to get him back in. Had to wait for half an hour as was 10 mins late for appointment, then he pooed, back home now and hiding on the old dish washer in the cupboard. If i was rich would have ahome visit. Never had a cat so scared of carrier before, maybe he remembers all the times i took him home as a kitten.
