Default The cats of SE4G

I am so mad right now I am seeing double! I got my baby back from the vet two weeks ago, he went in to get neutered and de-clawed. Today I had to take him to my regular vet (they don’t do the above) because I noticed he was acting strange. Not only did they find a flea on him but he also tested positive for tape worm. If I could prove it was those jokers at the other vet I would go there right now and give them a BIG *** piece of my mind!

Yeah, and nothings says fun like giving a cat a pill. Of course, giving droppers of liquid medicine comes in a close second.

I'm sure there's someone you can call to check if there have been any other complaints about that particular Vet; somthing similar to the Better Business Bureau. Maybe the local animal shelter would know.

In any case, I hope your kitty is fine. When one of our cats contracted crystals in his urinary tract, I just about freaked. He was bleeding lightly from down below, but when the doc at the local Cat Hospital took him out of his cage and sat him onto the exam table, he gushed out blood and urine like someone turned on a water tap and then turned it off again. That wasn't easy to see. Fortunately he's alright now. And thank god the Cat Hospital is just around the corner from where we live.

He will be ok but I am going to check into that advice Katchoo. I had the same thought but have not had time to yet; most likely I will have to wait till Monday. I am glad to hear that your cat made it, I don’t know what I would do if my buddy got that ill. Giving him the pill was not all that bad, he was mad at me but he gets spoiled so much he thought it was just another “love on me” session, by the time he knew better it was all over.

On the subject of giving a cat a pill, someone posted a real funny joke on that procedure here on these Boards, but I can't find it with a search. Little help guys?

I saw a friend of mine, with deep purple gashes on his arms and chest. He tried to put his cat in the carrier for the first time for his move -- without opening the carrier first. Clearly, he's never given his cat a pill.
