Hi everyone. I just moved to Los Angeles (Culver City more specifically) and I was wondering if there was anyone in the area who could recommend a good vet. one of my cats, Leeloo is almost due for her yearly check up and I'm kind of nervous about it because even though at home she is a sweetheart, at the vet she gets so timid and scared and she behaves like a nightmare! at my old vet before we moved, we wouldn't even take her out of the carrier in the end because each visit she just got worse and worse and bringing in a guy to hold her down in a towel wasn't even good enough. she even passed out once from one of her freak outs and they had to put her on oxygen! (she's pretty special hahaha) the thing is, my old vet knew her since the first day I had her and she was 4 weeks old. he watched her every visit get a little worse over her four years... and he was very, very nice about it even when she bit his hand once. I'm so worried about bringing her to a new vet this way, all crazy and untouchable.
my previous vet and I did attempt different kinds of sedatives and none of them worked, in the end he actually said they might be making her worse.
any advice on a good vet? and what I'm supposed to do with this cat?
