FatBoy at the vet

nyom...nyom...nyommm


Fatboy was very disturbed yesterday when he spied the carrier and could not eat calmly. He wanted to run off but we managed to put him in the carrier. He snapped at us once and then decided there was nothing else he could do and sat quietly. But he complained a little to the vet Dr L as J was not about. But the vet dr L sprayed some antiseptic to numb the area and he sat quietly to allow for the SubQ. It took just under 5 minutes and we were back in 15 minutes at most. I was lucky to be able to get cabs pretty quickly.

He did not finish eating his food with the meds in it but he refused to eat it eventhough we put the bowl in the carrier. So after I brought him home, Cousin R came with more food mixed with a little of his Kidney Activator meds. He ate slowly but finished almost all of it.

Then Cousin R and I sat for some time to see that he is okay and when we saw him walking about, we left him to his own devices.

I also bought the Bach Rescue No 6 for Loss and Mourning so we could give him some as I'm sure he misses the auntie as they were a pair for 8 years. I also plan to give some to all the community kitties. I know it might not work for all cats but there is no harm in trying it out on all.

    Not sure what vet used to numb skin, but it could be Ethylchloride which is available at pharmacies. Cats are lucky to have you look after them since Aunty has to move. Lots of lovely people in the east area.

  2. Overall, it sounds like FatBoy is doing pretty well with taking his meds.
