my cat Leeloo is 4 and has always been a terror at the vet. we always went to the same guy and her behavior gradually got worse and worse. we tried acepromazine (sp?) and valium and she just freaks out on them, the sedation doesn't work and once she even fainted in the vets office from freaking out so much. he told me not to give her the sedatives anymore because of the fainting incident.
I am taking her to a new vet for the first time today (I love my old vet but we just moved across the country I wish I could have brought the vet with us!) she is overdue for her yearly appointment and I've put it off for too long. but I am so nervous about bringing her.
the last time she had an appointment was her health exam I needed to bring her on the plane when I moved in July and the vet didn't even take her out of the carrier, she kept LUNGING at him!
its so funny because she is the biggest sweetheart in the world at home!
anyone have any advice on what I should do today at the new vet? we leave in a few hours and I just am having all these bad thoughts about whats going to happen!
