Orion just came back from the vets, we did the RHD2 jab first, we'll be back on the 1st february for the myxi/RHD1 and discuss neutering if he is ready. he'll be microchipped then too.
the entire car journey he looked asleep, flopped on his side. we got in and the vet commented, "he looks very relaxed for a boy his age, they're usually jumping all over the place" - that was a mistake as he got ideas apparently!! :lol:
first of all he kicked his way all through the examination - she tried to feel his tummy, he tired to wriggle out. she tried to feel his hips/pelvis, he jumped around and let out a grunt (or squeak as it sounded).
then came the stethoscope.. as soon as she went near him, Orion turned around and pulled it out of her hands, almost throwing a strop. finally after some fighting she managed to listen but the entire time he looked like he was going to murder us all any second...........
up next was teeth checking.. we didn't even manage to get the tool in his mouth! he started backing up, shaking his head, flicking dirt and even trying to preoccupy his mouth with hay to stop it. he even threw some hay at her and shoved the tool out of his way. needless to say, we gave up.
the actual vaccine was fine, he did give us all a glare though and turned his back on us.
after that, he's refusing to speak to me :lol: he won't accept any peace offerings, pets are declined with a shove, and once I put him in he decided to flick dirt at me - which successfully flicked a few poops at my face! he's now sat in his litter tray sulking, looking rather sorry for himself, watching my every move.
dread to think how his neuter will go if he's this stroppy over a vaccine, I imagine losing his balls might set a new standard :roll::lol:
