Hi Everybody!!
This just occured to me when I was responding to another post; we had the WEIRDEST vet visit the first time we took Butters in.
First off, it wasn't our usual fabulous vet. It was some sort of weekend fill-in guy. He took a look at Butters, laughed and said something about how my baby must be "climbing up the curtains (which he doesn't)," checked in his ears, gave him the shot he needed, and sent us home!!! I mean, isn't he supposed to ascult his chest, do the whole abdomen feel-up thing, take a temp., etc etc?
After we had that whole tragedy with Peanut, I think every kitten deserves a THOROUGH check up on first vet's visit...doesn't matter if the cat had been seen by a rescue vet. This particular vet kind of made me mad, but of course after he had shoved us out the door.
It kind of amazes me that this gent would be so nonchalant about kitten care. Ok, so Butters is cute. Where's your stethoscope? I had him back to our regular vet yesterday, and thankully he is OK.
Has anyone got any opinions on this? I am wrong to be so picky?
Thanks,
Beth
ps - we are NOT going to have him declawed!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
