Fleet Vehicles (multipack) Two completely different vet reactions.

Had to take em in to get tested for ringworm. Barrett doesn't care as the soup where his brain should be doesn't allow for comprehending things. Coco, meanwhile wants everyone to die.

Update. Not ringworm. Just dry skin cause of the cold and dry climate here.

Glad they’re clear of the fungus! How did the vet recommend treating their dry skin?

Coco has the most gorgeous eyes!! I can feel the hatred in my soul but I’m here for it. 😹

Fish oil and some cream stuff that I need to work into their skin that should help for a month.

i always olive oil my kitties after their daily shower and sometime teeth cleaning too

Yes, vet reminded me that additional fish oils and seafood help. Works for us

When my SIC went to the vet yesterday, I asked was she a good girl when I went to pick her up. Vet said only when she was sleeping.

Barrett showed the nurse who tried to hold him up so his groin could be inspected, why he is the fattest terrorist in the county. He was then quickly bribed with cheese and behaved for the rest of the visit. Coco didn't give them a chance. It took myself and the nurse to restrain her so they could look at her.

I know the feeling. Jigglypuff had to be sedated to have an Xray tand a urine sample taken. Gabapentin had no real effect on her.

FYI: She's fine. I think Meow Mix Tenders in Sauce irritated her bladder. Just waiting on the urine tests to confirm.

I love the mental image of Barrett’s head being filled with minestrone.

Given our area. A hearty potato soup would be more accurate.

u/Prettypuff405 17d ago

Is he a baked potato soup man?

u/TrippyMcGuire556 17d ago

If my grandma's recipe didn't call for green onions, probably.

Veteran Battle Cat, vs Standard Issue Cat. VBC has seen enough to not be afraid anymore

Glad all worked out ok 💕

u/Playful_Current_7209 17d ago

Such cute cats!!

u/SleeplessSummerville 17d ago

Barrett has decided that he will impersonate a human and the vet will be none the wiser...

u/Maxcorps2012 17d ago

This would be hi and oh god where am I and why am I here.

u/Travelcat67 17d ago

There’s a third and it usually means getting fired by more than one vet bc your Cujo cat bites and scratches everyone. That was my cat. We had to sedate her for her checkups with most vets agreeing it didn’t have to be annually. They were scared.

u/TrippyMcGuire556 17d ago

Coco is no longer allowed at the animal shelter free clinic after she did some serious damage to the vet during her spay.

u/Mickv504-985 17d ago

Under the chair’s face says it all. “I Wish a Bitch Would!”

u/TrippyMcGuire556 17d ago

She's the reason I can't use the free clinic at the local shelter.
