WE met the new vet, I really like her, I think she will be good. She said blood work was not neccessary, but the rabies shot was, so we got that. She also said he can have water after 11pm eventhough the instructions says none after 11. Maybe I misunderstood. Is it really no water? He will be going under anesthesia, goes in in the morning, and I pick him up later in the day. She said his teeth are pretty bad for a three year old cat, but he had a very rough first year of life, living on the streets in the bitter cold.
