Thea & Bobbin
Warren Veteran
Not sure if any of you saw a post I made in a thread called vaccinations, but basically I got some very different quotes from the two vets in my area. One quoted £55 for the jabs and £72 for the castration, the other £24 and £46 respectively. And altough I knew that the more expensive vets were lovely (well they should be at that price!), my sister takes her cats there, I went to the cheaper one.
We went on Friday, it was horrible, very dark and dingy and when I saw the vet it felt like it was just so quick.... in, out, next! :?
He gave Bobbin a look over, quite roughly if you ask me, but then he doesn't like being picked up so I guess I was overly worried for him. He checked his coat and his ears and then gave him the myxi jab. I asked about the VHD jab and when to come back for it and he said that he didn't recommend having it :? He said that he has never seen a case of it in his whole career :?
That may be the case but is it beacuse everyone gets the vaccination so there are very little cases, or that he is mis-diagnosing it, or that it's such a fast killer that the vets don't get the chance to see a case? :?
What do you guys think??
Sorry this is going on now but I have another issue.
I changed Bobbin's bedding from wood flakes to Megazorb on Saturday... and I'm not sure about it beacuse a) I can't tell if he likes it, he seems to stay in the places where there isn't any! b) I don't like the smell! and c) I'm not sure if it's related but he has a watery eye. I noticed it for the first time yesterday. The tissue around the eye seemed a little pink, not overly red but pinker than normal and there was wet on his cheek. I tried to pick him up but he refused! But then he lay down so I could have a good look (what a good boy! ). Apart from being a bit watery and pink it seemed fine, there was no swelling. But i did feel his ears and they seemed a little warm. Today his eye seems less watery and his ears aren't as warm.
Do I need to worry about it, could it be that he just had something in it, could it be a side effect of the jab or the megazorb??
Greatful for all advice and opinions x
