Well, today we had an appointment for Sammie cat's annual 'wellness visit' with the vet, which today included a rabies shot & a senior blood panel.
All was calm this morning until I stuffed her into the traveling crate. She began yowling (I'm not exaggerating) at the top of her lungs .... during the entire drive to the office, in the waiting room, in the exam room, while the doctor tried to listen to her lungs & heart, while she got her shot, while they drew her blood, in the waiting room checking out & paying for the visit, all the way home in the car, in the driveway ..... She got herself so worked up her ears were hot & glowing red (her ears are black). 
I had to leave the exam room for some peace while we were waiting for the vet to come in -- it was one of the most tiring, stressful experiences I have ever had taking Sammie to the vet. Normally she just stuffs her head into my coat sleeve and becomes 'invisible'.
It's a good thing she's so cute ....  |
I hope her bloodwork comes back ok. My 15 year old has been on three medications for the past 5 years. It's pretty expensive because we get the meds specially compounded so we can rub them inside her ears. But she's my sweetie so she's worth it.
