I just got Sateycat back from the vet. We took him in this morning to finally have the cyst removed from his neck and have a teeth cleaning. We drove all the way over to Bakersfield (40 miles) in the fog at 7AM. My mom woke up this morning with a feeling of dread (maybe something to do with the 78-car accident yesterday due to fog) but I insisted that Satey NEEDED to have that big ol' cyst taken off his neck and I stalled too much already. See, I was so nervous about having him put under. He's 9 years old and slightly overweight. The vet in town doesn't have the ability to use gas anesthesia so I called around Bakersfield to find a good vet. We had him done at Stockdale Veternary Hospital, which is referred to on our town's vet's answering machine if you call after hours. I was so happy with this place. It's nestled in a darling little suburb and the staff is very friendly. I also loved the fact that they have 3 resident cats that live in the office and greet visitors. They were all abandoned and I just thought it was so sweet that they kept these cats. The vet was a very kind man who really seemed to love my cat. I just felt so good about this place.
Anyway we picked Satey up at about 3:30 this afternoon and he seemed to be out of it, but when he got home he wanted to eat and now he's all over the house. His teeth look good, his breath smells nice, and he's got 4 stitches in his neck below his ear. He's also shaved around the insision and also in another spot on the front of his neck (can anyone tell me why?) so he looks a little funny, but he is doing fine.
I just wanted to share. I was a little anxious all day and now I feel really happy.
I think I'll continue to use Stockdale Vet Hospital for all my vet services.
