Fragile Do Not Bend Nov 2019 1:53pm, 2 Nov 2019 5,029 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend We got the trauma of the annual vet visit for jabs done this morning. Oreo is a total drama queen. He was howling all the way there, you’d think we were pulling his claws out, the noise he was making. There were disapproving looks from other people at the vet’s, as if it’s our fault he’s making such an awful fuss. Oreo was literally shaking whilst being examined by the vet and left wet patches on the table from his sweaty paws. More banshee howling on the way home. Now he’s curled up on the sofa as if nothing ever happened🙄

It was horrible for her and I felt so bad when she cried. She has had a sleep this afternoon and is still feeling a bit sorry for herself.

She had a poo straight after but if nothing else we need to go back Thursday for X-rays and bloods. Really hate seeing her suffer, she was wrapped in a told to be held still for the enema. It’s horrible when she struggles and cries.

Pablo scarpers when he sees the carrier now but it's not too much of a struggle to get him in. Seems to have turned a corner with his IBD: from a low of 3.41kg he was 4.23 last week and eating his way through at least 70g of dry food each day, plus freshly cooked white fish because I'm soft. We're lucky that he's docile enough to be pilled every day: it takes two of us but he doesn't struggle or scratch.
