Fister going for his annual and a teeth cleaning

[Randi]

I made an appointment to take Fister to the vet tomorrow morning at 9.00. He's going for his annual vaccination, a teeth cleaning and a general check-up, so he can't eat after midnight tonight - not that I'll be up that late anyway.

I'm allowed to give him 5 mg. Diazepam if neccesary, hope it won't be, but the mere thought of getting him in the box is making me shiver, and of course I'm worried, as it will be carried out under full anaesthesia.

We're going in a transport box attached to a bicycle, as it's only 5 min. away. At least it's nice and quiet in the morning.

I have be at work at 10.00, and I'll get him on the way back from work.

Please send some good thoughts that it goes smoothly and everything will be fine.

Oh Fister, please be a GOOD BOY for your mummy. The nice vet will not hurt you!

Just think of how good you will look with those sparkling teeth!

Oh Fister, be a good boy, it will be nothing! And meowmie will be proud of you

Randi, is it so hard to get Fister inside his carrier? I can't imagine how I would do if Peppito would be like this. I carry him with me several times a year, to my parents, on holidays, by car, by plane!

We'll be thinking of Fister today and hoping he (and you!) aren't too stressed with the whole thing. When I have to take Trevor and Andy to the vet I take them into the bathroom before trying to *capture* them and put them into their carriers. There is nothing for them to hide under and makes it so much easier. One day I had to cancel a vet appointment at the last minute, though, because I couldn't find one of them.

Oh no, Randi. I sure hope Fister cooperates and it's not too difficult to get him in the carrier. I know you had worked out some sort of routine to make it easier, so hopefully that still works.

Will be sending good thoughts and prayers that everything goes smoothly and he's back home with his new pearly whites in no time!

Fister, you be a good boy ok? I'm sure your meowmy will reward you greatly if you are.....maybe even with some shrimps?

Hi, Randi!

Poor Fister, he won't like it And I guess neither will you! If you need any help with Mister Fister tomorrow, please just say so! But use the phone... I'm getting off the 'puter in a few minutes.

Otherwise, good luck tomorrow!

Love,
Sus and Bella
