Hi everyone-
I went to the vet today and I've only been to this place once before so I'm not sure how they are there, but the vet yanked out clumps of fur in order to give my cat a shot. Then she kept saying that the vial of blood appeared clotted (to her assistant) and then they would yank out more fur while my cat cried out!!! Now she has blood staining her white fur and the bald area is all red and I'm not sure if it's still bleeding slightly or just raw. I just now noticed this spot, which is on her leg, and I was absolutely appauled! I've never seen such a thing! I didn't even realize what they were doing until I saw clumps of fur on the table because my view was blocked by the assistant. Maybe I'm in the dark here, but someone PLEASE reply if you know of anything like this! Should I be concerned about this or has anyone else heard of anything like this when a vet says they 'can't locate a vein'? My cat is a bit overweight so I know what they mean about locating a vein, but shouldn't they just shave the area or something??? My poor Kitty. I am so sad for her right now. Please reply --- someone, anyone ---!!! Thank you so much.
