ummmm, nope, no idea. But I can ask when I'm back in 2wks.Originally Posted by katiemae1277
I'm not totally crazy then
the jugular?? I can see how that might be stressfulldo you know why that is? I don't think I've ever had a vet take blood from there, my kitties always have a little spot shaved on their front leg when they get blood drawn
The kittens didn't seem to mind, but Kizzy HATES my vet. The sound of the clippers sends him wild. It really doesn't matter where the blood is drawn, it's the vet himself and the sound of the clippers that he's afraid of.
IF I have to get him tested, I'll try shaving him myself at home, and when I bring him to the office we'll use a different vet (there's several there). If that won't work, we'll sedate him.
Hopefully the kitten comes back negative (I'm testing him in 2wks, prior to his vaccines) and it will give me some peace of mind with Kizzy (I know its not guarenteed of course).
I want to have a full blood draw on Kizzy so I can find out exactly which virus he's a chronic carrier of....but I need to wait till he's healthy before I can do that.... (should have done it when he was neutered
sorry for digressing.
But yes, I will ask the vet why he does the jugular as opposed to the front leg because now I'm curious....
