So charlie is in for his vaccinations and a full health check tomorrow, his history from the RSPCA is untreated pasturella (However looking at the medical history ive been given this is based soley on the presence of a watery eye, no mention of any other clinical signs). I mentioned this to the vet today and she said long term untreated pasturella can cause lung abcesses. At the moment charlies breathing seems fine 99% of the time but occassionally (twice since monday) he sounded abit wheezey so depending on what my vet thinks tomorrow he may ended up having xrays just to check.
Charlie does NOT like being picked up, Charlie does NOT like being stroked for more than a few seconds and Charlie does NOT like to willingly go in the cat carrier.
So to avoid causes him a tremendous amount of stress having me chase him around the kitchen at 730 in the morning, while trying to not be late for work I decided to take him in this evening (no dogs in tonight so nice and quiet) I also read in a nursing journal earlier that boarding over night can reduce stress and give them time to get used to the environment and in turn reduces peri-operative mortility, which made sense so i figured it was a win win situation.
So an hour ago I rounded him up, stuffed him in the carrier and man was he angry! Before i actually managed to catch him he was stomping his feet, then once in his carrier he was trying to dig his way out, i shoved some grass through the door and he tried to dig at it furiously. So i took him in, got him settled in a bottom kennel encase he freaks out when we have to get him out, gave him some yummy broccoli, kali, grass,hay and dandilion leaves and he just sat there in his litter tray glaring at me like im the most evil person in the world!
So fingers crossed his health check comes back clear, he can have his vaccines and all being well I should be able give him his VHD2 one at home instead of stressing us both out with another trip!
I hope he doesnt need any antibiotics or eyedrops being that little guy is going to seriously hate me if i have to catch him twice a day!
