Glad your first day went well. We have a lady coming in next Friday bringing all 12 of her cats in. She has to take the back seats out of her van to get all the carriers in and by the time she stacks them all in the exam room, there's no room to move around!!!


Today was a tiring day. I got there at 7:30 and didn't get home til 6:30.


Well the lady who came in brought 9 dogs, NOT cats! LOL They were pekingnese dogs. They took up our whole morning until 12 noon. They all had to get a heartworm test, and most of them had to get their DHAPP and Rv3. So that took awhile.


Milo the "thread" kitty is doing well. His family came in to visit him today and he can go home in a few days.

"I think she meant that the cat can't "show" his claws, thereby won't be able to scratch furniture.

"My guess is the owner's don't want to spend the time TRAINING their cat to use the scratching post. It's the easy way out."


Yes because the people are stupid! That's why! The lady didn't even want to pay for post operative pain meds either! We gave them to the cat anyway because it's included in the procedure. We don't do declaws at the clinic but one vet offers the tendenectomy. I hate declaws and I would NEVER have one done to my cats. I would rather them shred every piece of furniture in my house. Furniture can be REPLACED, a cats digits cannot!


Well next week we get to have a tour of the new clinic which is really exciting. We will have our company meeting there and eat tons of pizza while gabbing about things lol.


I did get to see some cute puppies today though! One was a wirehaired Jack Russel terrier. He was the cutest puppy ever! We had an older lady bring in her yorkie who has sebacous cysts all over his body. It was the grosest thing I have ever seen! He had about 20 on his body and we had to squeeze them to get the puss and gunk out. Today was hectic. We had so many birds in. A feather plucking Eclectus, a red factor canary, a LATINO (all yellow!!!) lovebird and a budgie. The budgies owners just let the birds nails grow and grow and they were at least, I kid you not, an inch long each. The bird cannot walk on the floor and it caused him to break his leg!


Anywho, I have tomorrow and Thursday off and go back on Friday.
