One of my cats once bit me when the vet was trying to take her temperature. Not orally, if you know what I mean. She was a lovely cat but she was really scared.

The bacteria in her mouth infected the bite, I got a fever, my arm swelled up and I had to go to the infectious diseases department at my local hospital. I was off work 2 weeks.

Be careful Fanny! grin

I remember taking one dog to the vets to have his claws clipped and could hear the noise he was making from the waiting room.
I thought they were murdering him but he was fine afterwards.

Gill, the gabapentin is in liquid form, which I have to squirt inside her cheek. Somehow.
I think that she may need sedating before she's sedated, if you see what I mean

oh gawd grin bloody animals! My dog does a high pitched constant scream when we go and she sits under my chair, so there is just this noise coming from between my legs whilst people just look horrified. Luckily last time the horror was diverted by a border terrier taking a crap in full view of the whole room
such joy!

grin grin. My late cat was a similar performer when it came to taking worming tablets. We all needed calming down, after our wounds were dressed of course

Hello all
I had finally got Rosie an appointment to get 'groomed' (shaved/clipped) at the vet's,
and she freaked out; attacked the groomers; and hid under a table.
Apparently, she was too stressed for them to continue.

I've bought her home, she seems absolutely fine now and is asleep under DH's bed.

She is such a bloody drama queen.

I've got another appointment for Friday. She's got to take some Gabapentin first to knock her out a bit.
Bless her...
