Cat Vet Techs at Work
HIYA!! SAVANNAH HERE!!!
It was the best of times and then the worst of times arrived. Nothing ‘epoch’ about these times whatsoever. Until the words ‘Vet Visit’ were spoken.
No!! Not the VET!!!
I have not been feeling well for some weeks. Nothing urgent, but I am back to being very constipated. In turn, I have become lethargic, not playing and in less than 5 months I gained a WHOLE POUND (1/2 kg).
Finally the dreaded first vet visit was set. They stole my bloods and stuffed some water under my skin like they thought I was a camel! And then they stuck a needle in me with some Pepcid. Great! All the tests came back normal.
The Pepcid lasted 24 hours but then my tummy was gurgling again; so the second vet visit was set and this one required a lot of Cat Vet Techs to assist. My favorite DVM is Dr Melanie, who owns Civic Feline Clinic. She has specially trained all her Cat Vet Techs, or so I always thought.
First, I was greeted by the Reception Cat Vet Tech. Looked like he was on a lunch break or something. Lazy cat.
Come back later. It’s my break time
Next, I get shown into my own personal exam room…only to find I am not alone. Another Cat Vet Tech is already lying there waiting to take my weight and temp. He was really big and I practically started biting my claws out of anxiety!
I’m busy here; have a seat.
Finally I was taken out of my exam room for my x-ray and I could hear all the Cat Vet Techs padding into my personal exam room.
MOUSES! They were having a staff meeting in my room! What the dickens were they saying about me??? (hover over photo to view captions please)
Thankfully my special Dr Melanie came in to talk with Mom L and Dad P and me about my xray results. She was far more professional than all the Cat Vet Techs.
Looks ok, but…..
There was even a Cat Vet Tech in the waiting room staring at me while we paid our bill. Shifty eyes if you ask me.
You’re going now? Nice!
As we left, the big gray fat Cat Vet Tech hopped back on my exam table and said something I swear sounded like “don’t let that door hit ya on the way out kid”…and then I am certain I heard several other Cat Vet Techs letting out guffaws! Terribly unprofessional I must say.
Watch your hind end kid…heh…heh
Unfortunately, my xray results were a little unclear so I had to return in a few days for the dreaded shaving of my tummy so they could do an ultrasound.
My ultrasound was great.
Next time you go to your DVM, be careful about any Cat Vet Techs. They can be very pushy and intrusive…just sayin’
