After a friend told me about her good experiences with a national company that runs a mobile vet service, I have made an appointment for a vet to come and do general health checks on my 4 cats. They have no acute health problems at the moment, but, because of COVID-19, I have not been taking any of them to the vet, except for emergency treatment. The same vet will be visiting me, who visited my friend, so I don't feel too nervous on that score.
I will make three working surfaces suitable for examinations and for taking blood so that the vet can decide where she would prefer to work. I will also try to put the 2 most unfriendly cats in carriers before she comes! I know I will be expected to hold the cats during any examination but I am used to that. I am also not worried if she only manages to examine 3 cats - at least I'll know where I stand regarding the health of some cats and hopefully have reduced the number of vet visits in the immediate future.
My only problem at the moment, is that all documents, information, lab-data, invoices etc. will only be available in an app on a smart phone. I much prefer reading documents on my computer! (Poor eyesight - the screen on my phone is so small). But, I'll no doubt manage.
I'll keep you informed.
