I am not a happy camper and I'll tell you why:
I called the vet Monday and made an appt for Rocket for his Rabies shots and an over all health checkup. Ok no problem, they asked me if I wanted a specific vet, I said yes I want Dr.----- or Dr.----- NOONE ELSE. they said fine. SO the vets appt is confirmed and I go w/ Brad and Rocket today. We get there and are waiting. Out comes a NEW vet to see Rocket, now this is the vet I wanted to strangle the first time she looked at my cat so I was NOT a happy camper, but I held my tongue. She was ok this time but Rocket obviously remembered her because he wanted out of there ASAP which is something he never does with the two vets I ASKED for. So we get done 8 minutes later, I didn't even care if the exam was done or not I was because Rocket was upset so we put Rocket in the carrier, paid (oh and while I was paying the vet I ASKED for came out calling for another cat in the waiting room!)
Now my question is this: Why can't they just let me have the vet I ask for? I hate new vets and they don't like me much because I know things (from here) that they can't answer. She wanted to give Rocket a steriod shot with serious side effects that are "more prone to dogs not cats"( because of his ear problem) but comeon, are you kidding me? You're tinkering with my cats life because you like to see me angry?
The thing is, I can't go to the other vets in town they are worse then this one is. (there are only three in town) There is a cats only clinic in Davenport but that's 45 minutes each way and I think that's way to long for a cat to be in a carrier, but seriously if this keeps up I might have to consider it.
Thanks for letting me vent. It's been bothering me since I got home.
