oops..

[lauren grier]

so I have to take the cat to the vet today,because he's all sick and shizz... anyway..... they asked me to bring his shot records- since I never took him to the vet after we adopted him (yes yes bad bad)...............

so I dug them out.......


yeh....... either a) I didn't realize how long we've had him or
b) I didn't realize that the vac's expire after a year (what??) ....... but yeh, he's well behind now

we got him in 2006 apparently o_o

oops.

sorry kitty.
you're getting poked a lot today.

 

[Paula]

I made the same mistake La. LOL So, yea, your kitty isn't gonna like you much today! LOL

 

[ColleenSwerb]

Doh, lol! Kitty gonna haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate you today!

 

[lauren grier]

lol

the poor thing is so miserable and out of it already :[ maybe they won't poke him cause he's sick?? lol they don't give kids vac's when they're sick.. my theory should apply to kitties too hahahaha

 

[aggiefamily]

LOL! As long as he is indoors and not exposed to other animals he is ok without getting all the shots. I know that when I worked with my dad there were a few clients that choose not to give their cats all the recommended shots. But yeah- he will get poked.

They might not La, that's a good theory, lol.
But most animal vacc's don't have side effects that could make them sick like kids ones do, kwim?

 

[pbumbaca]

If you have a vet that cares about animals the way they should I bet they tell you to bring kitty back when he's feeling better and just take care of the sickies today.

 

[ajf9597]

The fun vet trips I'm sure he's fine since he's an indoor cat

 

[Paula]

Well, if he's sick, they may not. My cat was sick when he went in to be neutered, and they said if they were to do the procedure, the stress would cause him to lose his hair.

 

[lauren grier]

yay we're back..

80 dollars down the drain

lol. she only did his rabbies vac.. held off on the dip-whatever- because he's sick.. and he has antibiotics :[ poor baby. she's 99% sure he has allergies too- which I could have told ya but whateverz. lol. I have to take him back in a week for another check and if he's better the other shots

 

[pbumbaca]

La, you got off easy with $80. The first time my cat got sick it cost us $1000!

 

[lauren grier]

lol yeh no thanks... I'm not shelling 1k out for a cold ^_^ my vets office is pretty reasonably priced as far as everything goes.. so it's all good. granted..... if I have to keep going back every week.. LOL 80 bucks a visit will add up fast.
