Honey absolutly hates the vets, gets himself in a right old state whenever he has to go. Had the 2 of them yesterday for their myxi boosters and annual check up.
Did Honey first, was a nightmare, when getting his claws clipped took me and my other half to hold him wrapped up in a towel. Obv Harly got a scare from this, cuz he pee'd loads in the carrier (he's fine with the vets normally, and has never done this before) then Honey peed on the table
. Then Harly was really nervy and jumpy as well when he was getting done.
When they were getting their boosters, I asked the girl (not our normal vet unfortunatly) if she put the little bit into their ears, said no. I explained the situation and asked would she please do this - they didn't like it at all! The 2 of them leaped right up, she said it's cuz it's sore there.
Took them home in the carrier, only 2min drive, Honey was mega mad at me put him in his hutch & was stamping at me. Then took Harly out carrier & realised he'd been sittin in the pee, so had to get a damp cloth & clean him up - so he was miffed at me too.
Came home from work & neither would come to me, just kept turning their backs. Ended up giving them apple & carrot for tea even tho I know I shouldn't, trying to make friends again. You can't just explain that your doing it for their good can you...
Oh also, got the vet to check Harly's watery eye, she says as he has this & sometimes has yellow around his nose as if he's had mucus coming out, this could be his teeth, but she can't feel anything just now, so has given me some cream to pop in a cpl of times a day, and I've to keep an eye on it and for him going off his food. I said he eats slower than Honey, I had noticed that, but not sure if he maybe always did, & Im jst lookin for lastin symptoms from the myxi. He definatly does eat.
To be honest I wasnt very impressed - I had to ask if I could get drops or something for his eye. Also, I had to ask her to check Honey's teeth, & she didn't weigh them. After she'd done the injection on Honey I said oh is that it, what else does he get for his annual check up - and she said that's it, I checked his heart & did his booster jag. Is that normal????
