Wise Old Thumper
My Zippy, went off her food last night and her one eye started to run, checked her mouth and she's got a couple of little teeth come through, they're only literally have come through, but they're sharp like needles.
When she was checked a few weeks ago, my vet Doug told me he didn't want to see her again unless she goes off her food. So I dosed her up with painkiller last night to get her eating again and this morning rang the vets. They've stopped opening at 7.30 and only open now at 9, so sat at home until they opened (made myself late for work). I rang and basically the one branch as decided to swap all the vet nurses over with my branch and they just don't know me, so head nurse wasn't that helpful.
I explained, Zippy needed a dental today, but she would not fit her in, messing me around saying they've got too many ops in (sorry but what do they do if a cats been run over), She was like, I'll fit her in tomorrow. I said tomorrow is no good, it needs to be today, I said Doug told me that as soon as she seems to have any trouble to be done then, I don't want her waiting over night.
The vet nurse, said well I can book you an appointment to see a vet, I just lost it with her and was screaming at her, that I don't need to see a vet, so they can tell me I she needs a dental, I mean no Sherlock, she has them every sodding 4-6-8 weeks, I know she needs one and don't need talking to like a prat. I said can you get her into another branch. in the end, she said I could bring her in and leave her, but there is no promise they can fit her in, if they can't they'll give her some painkillers and I'll take her back tomorrow.
When I got there, I said I bet you think I'm a right cow, but she looked at me like she wanted me dead. I feel awful I didn't mean to lose it in such a bad way, but to her it's a job, to me it's Zippy, I will get her a gift on the way home to say sorry, I feel terrible, why do I lose it like this, I let myself really down with my temper.
I hope poor Zippy is ok too, she's so old and it really upsets me seeing her poorly
