I know Gill, it was first time for me aswell to see a muzzle on cat and i dont know if i should say funny or sad enough the nurse didnt put it right on Boy so not only they realized he couldnt breath but then it was the vet which couldnt take the blood cos it wasnt done proper
, it was me who told them i dont want him to be sedated cos the time before he didnt have a good reaction to it once they reversed it but i really dont think for blood test you need sedation specially with a cat like Boy , if its Phoebe i undersatand cos i have to sedate her at home before even picking her up and that is cos i dont want her to heart her self not because of me getiing attacked but sadley in December when Caroline took Boy for the first time to this new surgery it was an emergency and she was fine at home with him but when she left him there over night the vet was attacked by him and Boy has a history of being kicked and badly treated by his very first owner which was a guy
Thats why when i adopted him 8 years ago was told he needs a home with no men , no kid, no other dogs or cats, he is fine now with all creatures big or small
but i think first night in the vet he was scared and the vet which was a guy approached him and scared Boy so Boy attacked him and since then he has a bad reputation in that place,i do think if you are a vet you should expect things like this but he was really upset and told me Boy was aggresive but i told him he was scared, so basicly no one likes to handle Boy even he has the biggest purr
That is what i really miss about my old vet but sadly his surgery made the mistake and started the whole thing.
Yes Gill for x rays i always had my cats sedated and my old vet use to wear this big gloves to handle Phoebe , like gardeners gloves
and Sasa and Phoebeare a bit similar except Sasa dont heart you but Phoebe does me
except i realised if she is really scared in vets she freeze?
Any how i will never allow a muzzle on my cats again , that was the first and last time and i am glad i was there toseeit, it makes me wonder though what happenes when they take them away and we are not there to see if they are sedated or wrapped in a towel or muzzled
Thankx to every one again for being here for Boy and me .
