VISIT TO THE VET - PART 3

Thurs 26th Feb 2009

Another visit to the vet for Max today - how, like that!?

No choice, really - this morning, he looked real sick after vomitting all he ate. So, it was a case of 'nothing going in, nothing coming out' . I had to make a special appointment for him to be examined by Dr. Jean Sim (who I knew will be able to treat him better than the other vet).

Brought Max in at 2.30 pm. Dr Sim and , thank goodness - Siew Lan, the assistant who handled Max when he was 1 month old appeared on the scene too. After examination, it was decided we had to get Max's 'Body in Motion'.........and so all four of us went into action. First, we clipped his nails - good thing too, as Max was scratching all over later......Then , one assistant held his front paws together, I held down his neck, Siew Lan held his back paws and at the same time started pressing his abdomen. Dr Sim went in with her gloved fingers and started digging - and , in that manner we harvested ten over nuggets..........all the time, with Max screaming his lung out.

I really appreciated the two ladies....they did a great job, really showing they cared - I know they felt for Max........he stayed with them for over a week when he was 'hospitalised' two years ago........So, lesson learned.- always get the right vet to treat your sick cat.
