Thompson and Diego-san had their annual trip to the vet yesterday. Both came out of the ordeal no worse for the wear, for the most part. Thompson was his usual vocal self letting everyone within earshot know he wasn't happy with the disruption to his busy schedule. I felt bad at how nervous he was, lying on the cold metal exam table waiting for the vet, he was shaking like a little bunny. He did lose little weight this past year, and not that I'm making any accusations about food theft but coincidentally Diego-san's weight went up almost the exact same amount that Thompson lost.
The bad news for Diego-san however was I asked the vet to check his anal glands because he has been doing a lot of cleaning "down there" recently. Sure enough she said she had never seen anal glands so full on any animal before. It's not exactly a record we're jumping for joy over however. It means he's going to have to go in on a regular basis to have the glands expressed. The vet even has an every sixth anal gland cleaning visit is free visit program that we will likely sign up for...
No kitties love to The VET, but as log as they are health, All are cool !

Buy five, squeeze one free? Such a deal.
ReplyDeleteYou can always learn how to do it yourself. That could be a little bit fun. But not a lot.
ReplyDeleteScout is doing this too. I'm going to look up the symptoms or whatever and see if he needs to go in.

Well, that's not going to be a pleasant experience for Diego-san!
