The vets don't always have it easy. (Snicker) My vet learned that you have 1 chance to get ALL the meds down my cats throats or else they are foaming too much to get anything down! Almost as much fun as when my folks cat broke the scale at the emergency room vets place. I told them he doesn't like to be held, or for anyone to TRY to put him in a carrier no matter WHERE he is. That scale should not have been so close to him and the counters edge.
