Babies trip to the vet

[rg_girlca]

Okay now, this is just my personal opinion. I can't believe that your vet said it would be good enough to have someone check on them only twice a week. That's ridiculous.
Your cats are so use to having someone with them for most of the day. Can you imagine what it would be like for them to all of a sudden be all alone, day and night for a few days. Personally, I don't think this would be fair to them at all. This would definitely have an affect on them.
Is it just Amy that you are concerned with Laura? Is there a trusted friend near by that would be willing to take just Amy for you?

I see all of you fell the same way I do. They are use to having humans around and I'd hate to see what them being alone would do. Shoot, when I brought them home, I brought Amy inside first, let her out of her kennel and went back out to get the others and I could hear her howling, all the way out to my car and she did it again today when I brought her back inside first from the vets. She does NOT like being alone at ALL!

rg- I have ONE neighbor that I would trust keeping Amy but she has a senior cat that is EXTREEMLY upset with any other cat even coming in for a short visit and he is a very nervous type already. That just wouldn't work... I am racking my brains trying to figure something out, just to have her closer to the vet.

There is no one I would trust to come in my house except for Rie and she is to busy to come every day. You just can't invite people into your house when you are not at home anymore like you use to. Already been burnt doing that.

I agree that twice a week is not enough. They must be checked on daily so that they always have plenty of clean water, food, and clean litterboxes. I hope that you have someone close by that you can trust to watch them while you're away. If not then maybe you should look into having a pet sitter do this.
I sure hope that whatever is wrong with Amy isn't serious. She may just be stressed out from you being away so much.

Laura, I also agree that twice a week would not be good .... maybe if you had started that way long ago, but I'm afraid the change this late would be too hard for them! I'm sorry that sweet Amy is doing worse, I hope the shot will make her more comfortable. I wish I had a good answer to your problem, I'm sorry you are having to deal with this.
