Re: Cat Question


Chris, definitely time to look for a new vet.  Sugar was feral and is NOT
good at the vet.  I'm the only owner that comes in the exam rooms because
she is so hard to handle.  But w/ me holding her and talking soothingly to
her, we manage to get through the exam and s-h-o-t-s.  It's not easy, but
Dr. Lisa is very good w/ her even though she is very naughty.  And for a big
woman, she can jump real quick if a paw gets loose or she tries to bite.
The only thing they sedate her for is the teeth cleaning, but they sedate
all cats for that procedure.  As for a name, how about Oreo??  Keep us
posted.
